Inquiry Day 1 ~~~ 11th Thursday June 2009

Today is the first day of inquiry, we first started the day by showing and telling our object that we think is a part of our culture or part of ourselves. (hobbies, favourite sport.etc.)

We then got into groups of 2, we brainstormed what the word 'culture' means. After that, we went into second period. And then we started our presentation.

At first me and my partner chose the subject "Diving" but we didn't know anything about diving. so we had some help from Mr.Parker. At the end, we ended up with an conclusion. We changed our subject to "Swimming" because we both know about swimming. Which makes it easier for us to work on our presentation meaning our inquiry project.

Now we are starting to develop questions for our interviews, we are planning to ask 6 people including, students, teachers, family members.etc. Our aim currently, is to develop around 15 questions for the interviews.

Questions for our interviews:

© Do you think that swimming is a culture?
© Do you find swimming interesting? Why?
© Why did you start learning the sport swimming?
© What do you think of swimming as a culture?
© What kind of identity do you think swimming has?
© Would you say that you are a part of swimming culture?
© Did swimming affect your life? How?
© Do you have a different identity or culture now that you started swimming?
