I don't think of myself as a particularly creative person as a rule, so today's session put me in the role of the student who might feel a bit awkward being presented with these tasks. I actually really enjoyed all the create tasks, though I seem to take a while to complete tasks :)
What I appreciated most about today was the wealth of resources ie websites, AI, teacher-created
resources with which we were shared. I can spend so long searching for these types of things and these are a godsend.
At the start of the day, when looking at the why, this really hit home. I think my create tasks need some work, particularly for those boys who struggle to read, and engage. Point taken.
I really like that participating in reading communities is in the curriculum refresh. While this happens haphazardly, to have it in print makes me accountable. The mention of this sent my mind into overdrive...now to find the time to fit it all in!
Creating the Te Marama poem with visual effects was the first task of the day and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. I have no doubt I will be using this in class in the near future.
Learning about 'tight' and 'loose' creative options was excellent, along with short creative responses to text. Mine is pictured below, in response to Iris and Dog Star (School Journal Level 3, May 2019)
