First off let's share how things are where we are. This could be what the weather is doing, how our weeks have been or anything exciting we have been involved in.
Then we'll have a bit of a korero and sharing of research.
Firstly, what were your takeaway points from the body and soul documentary? - I will trial using the break out rooms again for this.
Then, what did we discover in our research during the week - shared slides link
Values assessment - how it will work, and what we are focusing on when.
The past few weeks we have been researching the background details to the renaissance. The purpose of this was to give some context to the Renaissance, and figure out what we would like to look at during our values discussion.
Our next 'mini module' will be a discussion about Values. We will spend 3 weeks on a discussion that will take place in VC and asynchronously during the week. At the end of the three weeks you will have some time to synthesize your ideas into a written argument for assessment. However having a good argument will rely on high quality and ongoing discussion during the discussion phase. I would recommend starting with the questions we came up with in our padlet and our shared slides. Your job will be to pick some of those questions to work on. Post these on knowledge forum. Start by posting your initial theories and opinions and then see how you can develop these ideas. This might involve testing an idea by finding information to support it, clarify it, or identify new information that might help us to see things in a new light. You then might post new questions or ideas for us to consider. I've tried to make this process a bit more visual in the diagram below.
Remember that when you are assessed against the standards 'values' and 'arguments', that the word values is plural, this means you need to consider the different ways art was valued or different ideas that were valued within the artwork. Arguments isn't necessarily about debating or proving an idea wrong, it simply means weighing up ideas (again plural) and coming to a conclusion.
An example of this might be discussing classical and christian values within an art work, examining the reasons and influences for these and coming to a conclusion about why these were important for the time.
Our discussion should be a lot like what you did on Padlet previously. An open discussion where you continue to discuss and develop ideas. You can and should add your own questions as they occur to you, and you also can and should work on other people's questions and ideas that are shared.
We will make a start on this in the VC, so that we can trouble shoot any technical issues. Start by adding your questions and any useful research links that you might have. Then see what you can add to each other's questions and ideas.
We'll have some time at the end to discuss what seems to be emerging as important ideas to follow up on, and also to discuss any general questions you might have.

Over the week:
- Watch episode three of the Andrew Graham Dixon series 'The journey of the Magnus'. This should be helpful for understanding the balance between christian values and more humanist values
- Contribute to our discussion in Knowledge Forum. This should be your major focus. The aim should be to examine the questions we have already identified, and to develop our knowledge of these, adding questions and new information as we go. This should be an open conversation that keeps developing more depth.
