My Maracujá Process... Ready, Set, START!

Inspire. Challenge. Succeed. 

Every Student... Every Heart... Every Mind... Hey Grade 4, I wonder, what is passion? What does it mean to you? In what ways does passion drive our learning? As we begin to explore topics that spark our interest, remember to open our minds to new experiences and make meaningful connections to the new learning that is taking place. When we embrace a growth mindset, we can learn anything!



The Maracujá Process

Your Maracujá is an idea that needs to grow... The following are key questions to keep in mind throughout the Maracujá process. I wonder, what evidence could you provide that supports your Maracujá?
  • Does your Maracujá allow you to take risks by facing new challenges?
  • Does your Maracujá allow you to practice, improve and feel successful?
  • Does your Maracujá inspire others?
  • How can your Maracujá help you grow as a person? As a learner?

Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion - Brandon Todd, Basketball Player... Take the time to review the videos below. I wonder, as you watch and listen closely to the different stories, could you provide specific evidence that supports the key questions? What core values - intellectual curiosity, perseverance, respect, integrity and kindness - could you connect to each story?

Use a see-think-wonder to help organize your ideas:
  • SEE - I see that he/she took risks because... I see that he/she was challenged because...
  • THINK - I think he/she was able to succeed because...
  • WONDER - I am inspired by his/her passion because... He/she has inspired others by... He/she demonstrates growth because...

Maracujá is COMMITMENT!

Growing in my Maracujá process... In class, you will take the time to complete your Maracujá Heart Map. Fill your heart with people, places and memories that are connected to your Maracujá. Be sure to reflect on the key questions:
  • Does your Maracujá allow you to take risks by facing new challenges?
  • Does your Maracujá allow you to practice, improve and feel successful?
  • Does your Maracujá inspire others?
  • How can your Maracujá help you grow as a person? As a learner?



Creating my heart map... Take a look at the Heart Maps from last year's Grade 4 group. I wonder, what did the students do to create a meaningful heart map of their Maracujá? Use a see-think-wonder to help you make connections.
  • SEE - What people, places and/or memories do see that helps you make connections to his/her Maracujá?
  • THINK - What do you think is most powerful about his/her heart map? What makes you say that?
  • WONDER - I wonder, what connections could you make to his/her Maracujá?
