If you're looking for a springboard for authentic discussion and research, beginning a "Wonder Wall" is the perfect place to start. Students are filled with inquiry. Often questions are asked and left unanswered. Why does a an elephant have a small tail? Why do skunks sleep during the day? Why do birds fly? I've often asked students to place their wondering on a wonder wall. This is a fun way to jumpstart inquiry in your classroom.
Some benefits for generating a wonder wall:
- critical thinking
- igniting inquiry
- extending and sharing learning
- developing discourse with peers
- generating unique ways to showcase learning
If you're looking for a bulletin board wall, this Wonder Wall set has everything you need to get started.
