IB UNIT OF INQUIRY COVER PAGES
I have designed IB Transdisciplinary-themed cover pages that describe each Unit of Inquiry. Each cover page states the Central Idea, the Lines of Inquiry, and the Learner Profile Attribute that will be covered during the unit. As a formative assessment strategy, I have included a little student reflection on each sheet, so children can be thinkers and reflect on what they have learned in each unit. I shared this in GoogleDocs, so that you can download the slides and change the font to the font
