An exciting new Unit of Inquiry!

Our new unit of inquiry this term ending March 2008 will be a "World of Media." Students (LP's) will choose a autonomous research project of their choice related to this topic. We will investigate media, the mass media and its influence on us and the world.

Some projects to look forward to:
  • a fieldtrip to Heidelburg to learn more about film and film techniques
  • a fieldtrip to the Heidelburg University to learn more about the application of lasers, light and sound in the industry
  • films in the horror and thriller genre made by our LP's that will be broadcasted on our local TV station
  • science documentaries made by our LP's
  • interesting news paper articles written by the learning partners for their own newspaper "The ISN Times Online"
  • the production of an ISN magazine for our learning community.
