Year 9 Scheme of Learning IF

This unit is focused on thinking skills. The unit is written in a style that promotes workshop followed by student group work. Teachers can also set up master classes and doctor's surgeries to help mediate the group work and the research and production skills. The unit begins with the central concept of "What if" and students are encouraged to make up their own "What if" questions, research the possibilities and then find a creative way to present the outcomes. This broadens students minds about the world around them and promotes philosophical thinking.
