Language Acquisition in the MYP - Mystery Hangout

 In Ms Martin's Spanish class, Grade 6 students had the opportunity to use what they have learnt in an authentic situation. They participated in a Mystery Hangout with ISK students.

A Mystery Hangout is an educational game where a class connects with another class somewhere else in the world. Neither group knows where the other one is located.  The objective of the game is to guess where the other school is located applying geography, critical thinking skills, and in this case, Spanish.

After the Mystery Hangout, students chatted with Ms. Taylor, one of the Spanish teachers at ISK.

A Reminder of MYP Learning!

The MYP asks teachers to "design learning experiences that allow students with a range of needs to meet the subject-group aims and objectives. Teaching and learning in all IB programmes is:
• based on inquiry
• focused on developing conceptual understanding
• developed in local and global contexts
• focused on effective teamwork and collaboration
• differentiated to meet the needs of all learners
• informed by assessment (formative and summative)."
