WHLAQ Activity - Organizational Theories

Answer what is being asked based on the provided resources, as well as with the research
you have conducted.

This independent learning activity is called the WHLAQ about the Organizational Theories.

W - What do you need to find out? You need to think about what you need to find out in
order to address the provocation, solve the problem, or answer questions you may have.

H - How will you find out the answers to your questions? You need to think about what
resources are available to help find the answers.

L - What are you learning and what have you learned? You can ask this question every
day as you find out new information.

A - What action will you take? This is another way of asking how you are applying what you
have learned. Action is one of the 5 essential elements of the International Baccalaureate®
(IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) and it is an expectation of the PYP that inquiry will lead
to responsible action initiated by students as a result of the learning process.

Q - What new questions do you have? At the end of a unit of inquiry, there should be time
to reflect on whether you have successfully addressed your initial questions and whether
you have come up with other questions.
