Our duality maps

We are having some fantastic conversations about our duality maps while we are making them.

Here are some samples.

Making our buddy

Today we made our buddy into real people.  

We collaborated and practised first, deciding how we would design our buddy and what they would wear.  Then we discussed within our groups whether it would be a girl or boy and their name.  We are still collaborating together to finish them.
