Inquiry Brainstorming
The blog has links, but here are two more documents that could be helpful:
1) A document about inquiry
2) A word document for the KWL... (but you can make your own!)
3) Guiding Questions for your 5ws (& how)

Step 2. Study Groups
Different teachers will have different expectations to complete their courses. Need ideas to extend your learning? Ask Ms Ross.
Here are some of the courses AVID students are taking this semester. Need help with an assignment? Find a buddy/ study group. Set up a schedule, synchronize it with your AVID peers-- work collaboratively or simultaneously.
AVID 9 with Ms Ross
Band with Ms Mills
Drama 9 with Mr Mclaughlin
English 9 with Ms Sutton or Mr Wedan
Food 9 with Ms Kear
French 9 & French 10H with TBA
Math 9 with Ms Gambrel (linear) or Mr Sinlaid
Media Arts with Mr Probert
PE 9/10 with Ms Boyd, Mr Renaud or Mr Wedan
Rec Leadership with Mr Wedan
Science 9 with Mr Comrie (linear & semester)
Socials 9 with Ms Lincke & Mr Foerster
The rough goal is to have 3hrs per week per semester class, and 1.5hrs per week for a linear class-- that is 12hrs a week for school assignments. (**Disclaimer-- this is not a guarantee. It is a rough guideline some may find very difficult to follow!)
Step 1. Quarantine Buddies
I drew names from a hat, it forms a circle so that you are responsible to check in with the name to the right of yours. Find your initials, follow the arrows. Don't know who it is? Ask Ms Ross.
Since someone else will be checking in with you, you should have at least two awkward conversations a week!
