Beyond Black and White: Teaching Moral Complexity Through All My Sons- MYP 4 English LAL- Vivek Mukherjee

Objective of the Learning Engagement:  To study the motivations behind decision making Details of the Learning Engagement: Today in my Grade 9 English class, we explored the idea of decision-making and what drives people to make the choices they do. Our focus was Joe Keller’s fateful decision to ship faulty airplane parts in Arthur Miller’s timeless play All My Sons. Students reflected on what lay behind Keller’s choice: was it mainly socio-economic pressure, or was it a result of his deeply flawed character? This sparked a lively debate in class, with many different perspectives coming to the surface. To wrap up, the students created posters that tried to justify Keller’s decision-making process from different angles.   Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher: It was inspiring to see such young learners engaging passionately with themes like war profiteering, morality, and survival under extraordinary circumstances. That’s the real magic of literature...

Bringing Stories to Life: When Reading Meets Sketching and Discussion MYP1- Mayura Tiwari

Objective of the Learning Engagement:  Response to literature Details of the Learning Engagement: This is an ongoing activity - the children take turns reading aloud. They are encouraged to respond through sketching in their notebooks what they visualise. Most of them do. In turns, those who are keen - they all are! - , come up to the board and sketch. Four children - a total of eight in two shifts - take their place at the board and sketch as the others read. I get the children to pause and we discuss important parts, making connections to real life, analysing the characters, etc. The purpose is to develop listening skills, oral skills and visualisation through reading aloud. I do stop them also to correct pronunciation, intonation, etc. I establish right at the beginning that I need to help them enhance oral skills and if it is OK with them will make corrections. I get the buy-in from all of them. Some children prefer to continue to read on their own and are allowed to do that. O...

Breaking Out with Exponents: How an Escape Room Transformed Math Review - MYP 3 Math- Reena Narang

Objective of the Learning Engagement: Revising the rules of exponents and building collaborative skills Details of the Learning Engagement: The Grade 8 students showcased their understanding of the rules of exponents through an interactive Escape Room challenge. Students were paired randomly using a name generator to promote collaboration beyond their usual comfort zones. Twelve stations were set up around the classroom, each containing two questions linked to the laws of exponents. The questions varied in difficulty—some were direct applications, while others required deeper reasoning. Each correct answer provided part of a lock combination, and their ultimate task was to collect all the clues and crack the final code to “escape.” As the students rotated through the stations, they engaged actively in collaborative problem-solving, discussing strategies, checking each other’s reasoning, and building on each other’s strengths. They demonstrated self-management skills by pacing themselve...
