Watch the movie to work out where our thinking is, and how we can grow our thinking.
NEXT:
Choose a Storify document from this list. The Storify documents are snapshots of the Twitter stream for the Surf Lifesaving Association of WA.
What do you notice? Are there any patterns? How can you summarise the tweets?
We are learning to think about what we already know. We are learning to connect our prior thinking with new thinking. We are learning to make thinking connections with others.
Add to our THINK-PUZZLE-EXPLORE grid.
Tips for the grid: respect others’ work and do not edit or delete their sentences. You may add to the same square in the PUZZLE or EXPLORE sections. Type your first name after your sentence.

1st MYSTERY
Work with a partner. Why? Thinking together is thinking better! Use PicCollage app on the iPad to assemble a poster showing three buildings in the Swan River Colony built before 1849.
Locate the images on the National Trust W.A. site. Look for the ‘Places W.A.’ button. Choose 3 images of buildings that were made before 1849. Insert into your PicCollage. Label each building with one word which describes the original purpose of the building. Email your completed PicCollage to your teacher.
