UPDATE #3: Questions, questions
We frequently host classes from School Without Walls high school nearby. Known for their energetic and inquisitive students I thought they would be a great fit to help me with our Makonde research project.
Using the Project Zero Thinking Routine “See, Think, Wonder” we explored the Makonde Tree of Life. Each student had a Post-it for each category and we put them up on the cases at the end to discuss. I saved all of the “Wonder” Post-its to guide my inquiries. This photo includes just a few of them. As you can see, we’ve got a lot to do!
Some of the questions that came up over and over:
- What does it mean?
- What does it represent?
- Is there a message?
- What is the story it’s telling?
- When was it made?
- Who made it?
- How many people did it take to make?
- How did they make it?
- Why was it left?
- Is it completed?
- Why was it created?
- What is the inspiration?
- Who was the intended audience?
Here’s hoping we can find out the answers to some of our questions!
