A new year 8 History -Guided Inquiry unit and scaffolding

Hi fans of Guided Inquiry,

Today, I’ve uploaded the unit overview kindly sent to me by Amber Sorensen, TL at Cherrybrook Technology High School, on the Spanish Conquest, for Year 8 History.  There are a couple of excellent scaffolds as well – Cornell notetaking and Lotus brainstorming. I’ve also attached them to this post.

This was one of the GI units Amber referred to in her article for the Teaching History journal.

Go have a look, it’s a great task.
