MYP 4 and 5- Forum Theatre workshop for Grade 9 & 10- Anannya Tripathyi

Mr. Zubair Idrisi conducted an engaging Forum Theatre workshop for Grade 9 & 10 students on the 22nd and 24th August, 2023. The workshop, spanning 2 days, focused on the core principles of Forum Theatre, a dynamic form of interactive theatre aimed at exploring social issues. Through a blend of theoretical discussions and hands-on activities, students were introduced to the concept of "spect-actors," who actively participate in altering the outcome of a scene. Mr Idrisi adeptly guided students through exercises that honed their improvisational skills, encouraged critical thinking, and promoted empathy. By delving into real-world challenges and collaboratively brainstorming alternative solutions, the workshop fostered a deeper understanding of the role theatre can play in addressing pertinent issues. Students left the workshop not only with a richer appreciation of Forum Theatre's potential for social change but also with newfound confidence in their own expressive abilities. Their reflective responses resonated profoundly, underscoring the workshop's impact on their perspectives and emotions.

The magic of AI Tutor -MYP 4 Physics- Sheeba Abraham

Objective of the Learning Engagement To reinforce key Physics concepts and improve conceptual clarity by using the Toddle AI Tutor for targeted revision, personalized questioning, and instant feedback, enabling students to identify misconceptions and strengthen their understanding in preparation for assessments.   Learning Engagement: The AI tutor feature on Toddle was introduced to me by Dr. Meetu Agarwal. As the time for revision approached, I decided to utilize this tool to kickstart the revision process. Upon logging into the Create AI Tutor feature, several options were available. I chose the Mastery Builder, where I input the syllabus for the upcoming Physics assessment. The AI then generated a set of instructions along with an AI rating scale, allowing students to be placed at different levels: Beginning, Emerging, Developing, and Mastery. Once the students were assigned their respective levels, the AI guided them with progressively more challenging questions. Upon submittin...

Chemistry Mash-up Mania: Crafting chemistry with clay - MYP1- Prerna Karmarkar

Objective of the Learning Engagement: The objective of this activity is to help students understand and differentiate between elements, compounds, and mixtures through interactive and hands-on approaches. By creating and analyzing physical models using colored clay and participating in a role-play activity, students can visualize molecular structures, embody atomic interactions, and engage with abstract chemical concepts in a tangible and meaningful way, fostering deeper comprehension and retention. Details of the Learning Engagement: Project Task given: Students were assigned a task to create a 3D molecular model set using coloured clay balls to represent elements, compounds, and mixtures. Students worked in groups to construct and classify examples of each. Students will document their observations and reasoning for classifying models as elements, compounds, or mixtures in the provided reflection sheet. Analogical Connection: Students worked in groups to create 3D molecular models us...
