Yesterday, Calvin Christian High School started a school wide study centered around the question “what makes a city.” The students were divided into four groups regardless of grade and each group will focus on a different aspect of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The groups are Parks and Recreation, Sports, Food Culture and the Arts.
Each group will leave the school to visit places around the city having to do with their topic, learning through inquiry, exploration, creativity, and experience. So far, work has gone into making the plans for these and understanding the topic. The study will last for three weeks and will dominate the school schedule.
Hopefully each group will be able to combine experiences, research, and exploration of what they have learned to try to form an answer to the main question, learning more about what truly makes Minneapolis a great city!
