Year 8 Communicate & Relate

This term in Communicate and Relate, the Year 8s have been busy studying the book 'Tomorrow, When the War Began' and the ethical dilemmas within it. We are either explaining, analysing or evaluating the decision making of not only the characters within the book that are put in these situations where ethical dilemmas are present, but also in real life. Questions such as “What would you do if put in this position?” are relevant in our learning and provides an opportunity for students to share unique opinions with their peers. Additionally, we are also selecting an ethical dilemma that has been present throughout the book and researching real life examples. Here is an example of my work from this term:

Overall, the opportunity we’ve been given this term in Communicate and Relate has been a great experience and opened up so many insightful class discussions. I enjoy listening to my classmate's perspectives on questions and engaging with this topic.
