Survey on fiction
Please see details below on some research a former NIS student is conducting for her Grade 10 Personal Project:
I’m doing some research on elements of fiction (for my Personal Project) that appeal to 14-19 years olds. I’m wondering if it would be too much trouble to share this link (it is to a survey that I’ve created) with any suitably aged students in school.
It’d be great to have responses all over the world so I’m hoping you’d be able to help.
Thanks!
Xblock Data Collection Today
How might we share our Xblock projects? How might we set effective goals for our projects? How might we deepen our learning in Xblock?
The answer to all of these questions begins with data! Beginning today Mr Jacobson and Ms Merrylees will begin collecting some of the data we need to help us answer these questions.
What do you need to do?
Grade 6: Go to the LGR at the start of Xblock today (block 3) to find out
Grade 7: Go to the LGR at 11.20
Grade 8: Go to the LGR at 12 noon
See you later for more on data…!
