The grade 4 students have been learning about different forms of government and this week we focussed on monarchy.  The question which came up was ‘What makes a good monarch?’.

The Learner Profile is always a good starting point for looking at character traits.The students worked on a Jamboard first, listing down how they hoped a leader would behave.  Each group of 3 students had a Jamboard on which to work.

Today the students made a wanted poster for a good monarch.  Not a particular monarch who already exists but a new monarch who did wonderful things.  The students had some very good ideas.
