Courses
East Asian Civilization
Eight units, from the first river-valley civilizations to the modern age: each unit opens as we begin it, with study-guide packets, maps and timelines.
At a Glance
The year quarter by quarter: what we're studying, questions to ask at home, quick review, and a way to ask Mr Gray a question.
About Mr Gray
My guiding question is how do we know what we know? It works in any subject, and outside school too. It asks students to look past the answer to the evidence behind it, and to notice where that evidence runs out.
Guided inquiry is how I teach. I don't hand students conclusions. I give them something real to investigate, ask the questions that push their thinking further, and let them do the working out. The goal is a learner who can look at anything, ask good questions about it, and explain their thinking clearly.
This site is where my class materials live, for students to review and for families to follow along. Right now that's Grade 7 East Asian Civilization.
