Myself and two other teachers came together to team teach strands of Grade 9 Geography, Science, and English that could be looked at through a farming lens. Our class had already partnered with a community organization in October 2017 to hatch and raise chickens. As teachers, we intended to use the chickens as a hook to get students into the world of farming, and to use farming – and an inquiry model – as a way for students to learn some of the expectations in all three of these courses.
This project was unique in that the three teachers from each of these courses worked together to look at our projects from multiple angles.
