Description
An invitation is something that encourages children to explore a concept. A provocation is something that provokes action and stimulates thinking. Both are used in the inquiry classroom to evoke curiosity and encourage play and both require materials. Materials and loose parts have the possibility to evoke memories, narrate stories, invite actions, and communicate meanings. Materials and objects create meeting places. In early childhood classrooms we gather around things to investigate, negotiate, converse, and share. Materials – a block of clay, pots of paint, a brush, a colourful wire, a translucent sheet of paper, a rectangular block can all be turned into invitations and provocations. Materials are not passive or lifeless until the moment we do something to them; they participate in our early childhood projects. This resource delves into what are invitations, provocations and encounters in early learning classrooms.
