On Wednesday, May 1st, Spicewood's 5th graders participated in the culminating act of their PYP careers: the Exhibition.
In the past students have explored the theme Where We are in Time and Place and examined problems we face in the world today. For the first time this year they looked at the theme How We Express Ourselves and students explored how people of the past have expressed themselves in reaction to significant historical, economical and social events. It was powerful for them to engage in different modes of expression while delving into the events that have shaped our world.
The looked at visual art, music, movies, television, the internet, architecture, fashion and more as they learned about the events of the 20th century until today.
After this research and inquiry students were asked to select a mode of expression and create a unique product in response to an event in their lifetime They then synthesized and applied their research and the results were amazing!
Not only did the students demonstrate their understanding of the relevant PYP elements (concepts, attitudes, skills, knowledge and action), they did so in a very personal and engaging way. What resulted was a powerful conclusion to their journey through Spicewood's PYP program.
