SPARK ideas?
Hello teachers,
I hope you are all getting very excited about this project!
I just thought I would throw a line out there to ask if you've already thought of SPARK ideas for your classroom?
It'd be great if we could share them and possibly inspire other teachers in their preparations?
Thanks! We will be in touch very soon,

Bonjour à tous!
J'espère que vous avez très hâte de commencer ce projet! (Moi, oui en tout cas!)
J'aimerais juste demander si vous aviez déjà pensé à une idée d'ÉTINCELLE pour votre classe?
Ça serait superbe si on pouvait les partager ici, pour peut-être inspirer les autres profs dans leurs préparations?
Merci et à très bientôt!

I think spark ideas are great! Looking forward to seeing what the classrooms are working on!
So It has been a couple of weeks now but the spark I used this year was the Documentary Chasing Ice by Jame Balog. He highlights Glaciers as being the canary in the coal mine for climate change. It is a very clear story about glacial melting(recessions and deflation) over the space of a year to two years. I think the documentary was produced around 2011,.
Hi Andrew,
That's great- thanks so much for sharing that! I'm not familiar with that particular documentary, but I'll take a look at it this afternoon.
Yes, you're right: at this point, the sparks should have been presented and the students should now be working on their Inquiries!
Cheers,
Jessica
