OUR INQUIRY:
KNOW: The various features and aspects of Hong Kong
DO: Be able to use a range of media tools
UNDERSTAND: Identity and culture are interdependent
(connected), shaped by a range of perspectives
THE INQUIRY MODEL
WE WILL USE
Brunner’s model of Inquiry (2012)
We will be using
questions from this model to guide our thinking
and learning.
WHAT SHAPES IDENTITY?
In groups of 3-4 complete a spider diagram, drawing on your
understanding from last year. Include the key concepts from
last year:
Change: In what ways does identity continually develop/
change?
Responsibility: What responsibilities shape my identity?
Influences: How is identity shaped by social, geographical
and historical factors?
Beliefs and values: How do my values and beliefs shape my
identity?

y
Who my
friends are
What
country I
live in
What I think
is right or
wrong
Whether I
practise a
religion
Example:
WHAT IS ‘CULTURE’?
In teams of no more than four come up with a definition of
‘Culture’ and try to give 2-3 examples of elements of culture:
eg the sport/s played.
Share these with the class and determine an overall ‘class’
definition.
Write it in your journal
Identity and culture are interdependent
(connected) and are shaped by a range of
perspectives.
This inquiry will go deeper into what these perspectives
might be and the effect they have on Hong Kong’s identity.
KEY IDEA
HONG KONG:
A WORLD CITY?
Our inquiry will lead us to write a persuasive speech to be
presented about Hong Kong and whether or not it is a ‘world
City’.
So, how do we determine a country’s quality of life?
What makes it a world city?
Play the clip (click on pic) and
list all of the aspects of Hong Kong
that this advert used to claim it is a
World City.
(You may need to watch it more
than once!)
WHAT DID YOU LIST?
Did you also include any of the following?
• economy
• climate
• pollution levels
• housing
• population happiness index
• crime
• healthcare
What might be some different perspectives on Hong Kong…
PERSPECTIVE:
CIRCLE OF VIEWPOINT
I am thinking about Hong Kong from the viewpoint of _________________
I think that Hong Kong… (consider how your chosen person might describe
Hong Kong)
PREPARING FOR MY
INQUIRY
WHAT DO I KNOW?
Quickwrite 10 minutes to write down
everything you ‘know’ about HK that will
help you answer the question about
whether Hong Kong is a ‘World City’.
Write fast, don’t worry about technical
accuracy. Try to fill the page/ box.
WHAT DO I NEED TO
KNOW?
Check off the information in your Quickwrite
against the list created earlier that will give you a
good sense of aspects of a country eg .healthcare,
crime-rates, happiness index
What might I need to investigate to know more…(
write in your journal)
BEING A GOOD ‘RESEARCHER’
What are the attributes of a good researcher?
What are the ‘places’ we could look for information on Hong Kong?
What is the best why to store information and how could we ensure others can use it as well?
GALLERY WALK
Each topic has been put onto a piece of chart paper.
1. Create a spider diagram with your responses .Each
person will write individually. Before you write something
read the paper to ensure that it is a new idea. Record
each idea only once.
2. Now rotate to the next table. Read the idea and add your
own. Remember- no repeating ideas.
3. Do the same for the third table. Then return to your
original table to see what has been added.
All of this must be done in COMPLETE SILENCE!

FIND YOUR OWN
SOURCES TO LEARN MORE
List down possible people, places and sites you can ‘visit’ to
learn more about Hong Kong.
Once you have been allocated your group and have done the
‘Cubing It’ activity you will know more about what you need
to research this week, for next lesson.
At home be sure to investigate at least three sources and
record your information on a Google doc for next week’s
lesson.
CUBING IT
Create a cube for your group and then each person will consider which task they will start with.
It doesn’t matter if more than one student wants to work on the same side.
Some are more difficult than others and as a group you must all cover sides except the purple side, which will be done last.
You will have some time next lesson as well.
GET TO IT!
Spend some time researching, finding out about your
‘Cubing It’ task.
When you have learned something, put it into your Google
Doc (that your Orgnisers have set up).
