Create

 Today's session of RPI really got the 'Create' juices going.  

Starting with Dorothys Korero on the Manaiakalani Kaupapa and Pedagogy - Create.  

I really liked Dorothy's korero, and learning of the Manaiakalani 'Hook' is a driver of using technologies to engage and enable creativity as significant to hooking Akonga into learning and engaging.

Today is all about getting the 'Creative Juices flowing'

What a great way to start with a poem about Te Marama by Kelly Joseph. 

My Create.

Naomi and Kiri shared ways that would help my capability and confidence to use 'Create' to show students learning from the reading texts we use in my reading programme, where they can create about the text or skills learned.  

My task for myself is to try using tighter and looser constraints for short creative responses to text. 

*Create using analogue then digitalise it. 

*Having templates already set up.

*A theme - e.g. environmental issues. 

Creating to show learning through choice and collaboration. Opportunities for choice, for example, quizzes and collaboration pair up with someone.

[Manaiakalani - Create a One Shot Film - Naomi and Fiona. Model and Master]

Creating with one-shot film. The task of creating enables learning to become confident with the tools to capture creativity and share it. 

My plan to create a one-shot film will show me sharing about the book I am reading to my class at the moment. 'Gem of the First Water' ( I will have to record this when I have my voice back)  The book Gem of the First Water is a story about a boy's journey through life and the challenges and adventures he comes across as he moves forward. Each challenge prompts him to make choices to get through obstacles. 

 

Watch this space for my 'One shot film' when I get my voice back.  

I really enjoyed the 'Create' Day today. Lots of awesome tools and different ways to 'Create' learning. 

A wall of words- Vocabulary and Decoding.

Manaiakalani RPI - Day 6 Vocabulary.

Developing a Love for Words: The power of the word wall. 

A vocab/word wall is a simple yet wonderful effective tool for the classroom to change how we interact with words.

This year I have decided to have digital word walls for the vocabulary the students highlight in their reading texts. Due to the limited wall space in my room, it made sense for the students to have word clouds on our class site. 

Olympic Games words.

The resources from Robyn Anderson, Year 7-8 Panmure Bridge School, and the Miss Gardner from Ohaewai school Tool Box at today's RPI are resources that would help me to support the student in my Target reading group. They are visual and inviting and would definitely appeal to my learners.
