During our How the World Works unit of inquiry, our class investigated how shadows work. As part of our inquiries, we asked our buddies to help us trace our shadows at different times during the day. During this activity, Zoe discovered that the sun can be found at different positions in the sky over the course of the day and that this affects the shape of our shadows.
Zoe chose this piece for her portfolio because: "We drew ourselves and the sun moved so the shadow moved."
Ms. Alison agrees that this is an example of Zoe's best work. She showed an ability to adapt and revise her theories about shadows and sunlight as our unit progress and enthusiastically committed herself to exploring shadows even during her free play.
