The Initial Plan
The organisation of the Year 7 unit for tutorial participants was as follows”
Focusing on a philosophical discussion
The Year 7 tutorial groups were given the following ‘broadsheets’ to discuss the features of information texts. For instance, how the essential assumption in them is that they present the truth in a balanced way. On the other hand, the representation of truth can be tricky when it’s based on completely new discoveries that are not easily seen and understood… as was the case of informing Londoners to use only clean water to avoid the microscopic germs that caused Cholera.
