Innovative+Learning

very exciting project to be completed by Grade 6 Students from Aberdeen and Grade 9 Students from Delisle.

Task 1: Classrooms A. The development of classrooms within our province have changed a lot since the first one room schools. Let us begin our project by trying to determine what a classroom use to look like when we had one room schools? While doing this research, please look for some of the key components required to make the classroom functional. Please make a list, find a picture, try to get some evidence of the classroom and all objects within it. B. How do these classrooms that you have found compare to the early classroom used by the First Nations’ People? Again, try to find some evidence. C. How do these classrooms compare to your current classroom? How about the key functional components? Are the classrooms different?

Did you find that many of the functional components are the same? Which ones? Has the classroom really changed a lot in the last 50 years? Has technology? Has learning?

The million dollar question (actually a lot more than the million dollar question) is what should classrooms look like in the future? What is needed? What would you want? The sky is the limit and you get to make up a functional classroom for the future by listing your key components and then drawing a scale diagram on a piece of graph paper. You will need to decide on a scale depending on how large you make the classroom.

If you go a step further, what would your school of the future look like? Would it have a gym? Would it have classrooms? You should try to create a 6 room school based on your ideas of what is important for the future. Please list your key components of the school, as well as draw a quick sketch (does not have to be to scale).
