Activity Tasks

Tuning In - The statement of inquiry for this unit was: "Beliefs about creation shape our identities, which change over time." - We are going to investigate how this inquiry question applies to Hong Kong. Think of a good inquiry question we could form to investigate this. i.e. 'what do people in HK believe about creation?'
Tuning In - With a partner, brainstorm what you know about your inquiry question already. What religions are there in Hong Kong? Where are their places of worship? What do they believe about creation?
Finding Out - Do some research and record information about the above questions in a research document. You should try and use the MISO method of researching information:
1. M - Media - Internet, videos, radio, newspapers, magazines, books.
2. I - Interview - ask a set of questions to someone about their beliefs about creation.
3. S - Survey - Send out a survey to a large number of people to gather more data.
4. O - Observation - Explore Hong Kong yourself to find out about your inquiry question.
Sorting Out - Organise your completed research information into a table. Work out your answer to your inquiry question.
Making Conclusions - Finally, create an A4 poster or another outcome explaining your question, the key information you have found, and an answer to your question
