Reading W7 😎🏁

Kia Ora Welcome back to my blog,
This week my for goal reading was: identify some text events and features, and discuss what they make the reader think about. I had to screenshot pictures from the text and talk about the features. Instead I chose to make my own pictures and talk about the features. Here it is I hope you enjoy.

Title

The title has a picture of a man looking into a black and white background. I think that the title has a picture so that when people see it they will be more drawn to reading the book if it has more pictures and less words. This story is also about war so I think that the picture is in black in white so it looks like a photo that was taken in the olden days.

Subtitles

I think subtitles are used to let people know what that page or paragraph is going to be about. This is the picture that was on the page I chose. I chose to show this picture because I think it shows a little bit about the subtitle.

Image

I think they put images in so it is easier to read and sometimes easier to understand because you can look at the images and figure out what the text is trying to say if you can't understand the text

What are your thoughts about these features?

See you next time Bye :)

Kia Ora welcome back to my blog,

This my goal for writing was: deliberately choose a clear, controlled and logical text structure to suit the audience and purpose.

My task this week was to make a template that a younger student could use. I chose to make mine for Tumu which is the Year 5&6 hub.

What template/layout do you use for your writing?

Communication

Aloha, welcome back to my blog

Today in my last post for week 5 I will be talking about another 6 c. Today's 6 c I is........ Communication

We discussed:

What are the different ways we communicated our learning last year for PBL, workshops etc? How did this differ between our different PBL projects? Why is it important to present our learning in different ways?

I learnt that:

• Learners are can deliver and articulate a coherent message with smart choices of communication modes and tools.
• Learners can identify what excites, motivates/worries audiences and how to engage/challenge others to think and act differently.
• Learners consider their audience when delivering a message. They use intrigue, fact, humour and practical elements to hook and retain their audience's attention and deliver a clear and compelling call to action
• Teams are reflective communicators who consider multiple perspectives and are able to identify powerful ways to strengthen its impact.

What your favourite type of communication?

See you next time

Creativity 101

Kia Ora , welcome back to my second blog of week 5.

In this blog I will cover creativity another of the six c's. First of all everybody has a little bit of creativity and to show this we did an activity where we where given a piece of paper with 4 circles and 4 squares. We where told to turn these into objects which could occur in an everyday life situation. I turned the 4 circles into a cookie, a donut, a netball and a cricket ball. I turned the 4 squares into a monster, a phone, a book and photo frame with a beach setting inside. Then we watched a video about some creativity and it talked about the different sides of the brain and the different ways that people think about different circumstances and situations.

How do you show your creativity? Through drawing? Through writing? Let me know in the comments!

See you next time

Collaboration Reflection PBL T1

Kia Ora welcome back to my blog,

This term for PBL we had to make a project for the fair. We have to write a blog about how we contributed to the our PBL group.  

During this PBL I think I have showed Collaboration by:

Contributing what i needed to and helping the others to contribute what was expected of them. I also think I worked well by respecting others ideas and using my teams ideas to make one great idea. 

Next time I could help my PBL group out by:

Making important decisions that take into consideration different perspectives and the mutual benefit of the group.

What do you think you bring to a team when working with others?

See you next time

Bye :)
