 * **Student Groups ** || * Student names and their chosen inquiries were discussed and finalised
 * Jim to monitor Shipra’s group in her absence
 * Final student groups attached here:
 * All mentors to collect the Essential Elements reflections by the students and correct it as a prior knowledge assessment with anecdotal remarks ||
 * **Forming Central Idea and LOI ** || * It was agreed that each group mentor would work individually with their groups to arrive at one or at the most 2 common Central Ideas
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">However, due to the varied nature of the topics of interest, each child would then write down 2 to 3 lines of inquiry (along with 2/3 concepts) specific to their inquiry but common to the selected CI
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This will achieve differentiation and students need to be guided by the mentors to come up with higher order concepts based on their abilities
