| Global context: | Orientation in space and time |
| Key concept: | Communication |
| Related concept: | Adaptation |
| Statement of inquiry: | Design can impact interactions. |
| Inquiry questions such as these should be developed by teachers and students: | |
| Factual: | What are types of communication? How do we adapt our communication for our interactions? What makes an interaction either positive or negative? |
| Conceptual: | How does design impact interactions? How has human interaction adapted/changed over time? |
| Debatable: | We are now connected more than ever. |
