Welcome class! Today, we are going to explore how the MYP emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, especially in Individuals and Societies. This means combining subjects like History, Geography, and Economics to understand the world around us better.
Why is it important to combine subjects like that?
Great question, Student_1! By integrating different subjects, we can see how historical events influence economic systems or geographical changes. Remember the acronym I-SOAP: Interdisciplinary, Social, Overlapping, Analytical, Practical. It helps us remember why these connections matter.
Does this approach change the way we learn history?
Absolutely, Student_2! It encourages us to think critically and look at multiple perspectives, providing a deeper understanding of any historical issue.

Now, let's delve into the key concepts for MYP History: Change, Time, Place and Space, Systems, and Global Interactions. These will frame our studies.
Can you explain what 'Change' means in this context?
Certainly! 'Change' refers to how historical events and societies evolve over time. Think of it this way: the past isn't static but always in flux! To remember, you might consider 'CHANGE: Continuous History And New Growth Everywhere.'
What about 'Global Interactions'?
Good follow-up, Student_4! Global Interactions look at how societies affect each other across time. For example, trade routes in history have not only changed economies but also cultures.

Let's discuss ATL skills crucial for our learning. Research skills, communication, critical thinking, and collaboration... these are essential for success in Individuals and Societies.
What exactly is involved in Research Skills?
Research skills are about sourcing and evaluating information critically. Remember the acronym CITE: Credibility, Insight, Thoroughness, Evidence. It helps you to remember what to focus on when researching.
How do we apply these skills practically?
Great inquiry, Student_2! You'll apply these through activities like debates, simulations, and role-plays, which we will explore in-depth in upcoming lessons.

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) of the International Baccalaureate (IB) places a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary learning.
Detailed Explanation
The MYP is designed to engage students in a variety of subjects, encouraging them to see connections between different areas of study. Interdisciplinary learning means that instead of learning subjects in isolation, students tackle complex issues that require knowledge from multiple disciplines, such as combining History with Geography or Economics.
Examples & Analogies
Think of interdisciplinary learning like preparing a meal. A chef doesn't just think about the vegetables or the meat separately. They need to combine flavors, textures, and techniques from different cooking styles to create a delicious dish. Similarly, MYP encourages students to integrate knowledge from different subjects to gain a holistic understanding.
