As part of every unit of inquiry, teacher give students time in the beginning to immerse in the concept of their unit. As part of their Where We Are in Place and Time unit, fourth grade teachers put out photos and charts that are connected with migrations from different cultures and different points in time. Their goal is to have students observe the challenges and opportunities that arise as a result of migration. This idea is central to their unit. Instead of telling students this idea, through the inquiry approach, teachers want to provide students with chances to discover these ideas for themselves. This picture walk is once example of how teachers do this during immersion.
