Today's class

Students shared their Flipped Classroom learning ... 55 Fiction.   The variety of fictions was very noticeable, with all meeting the criteria and being able to verbalise their own leaning through this activity.

Most students set their Ext(reme) Writing goals and strategies to meet those goals. Then plans were afoot to choose a piece of writing to work on through which that goal could be practiced. The goal setting sheet is in the student's Ext Writing folder in their Drive.

Access to Seesaw will be made available to parents this week and accounts were updated with the 55 Fiction today.

Flipped Classroom for this week:

To plan, start creating your own personal writing that will allow you to practice your goal.  Share your progress on Monday 20th.

6 Mar Update

Great to see the Ext(reme) Writers today!  Welcome to Jess who joined us for the first time.

After warming up with more "Poetry Poker", the students were introduced to Seesaw.  

Seesaw is a online digital individual portfolio where students can share their learning with parents and staff.  Entries were made for those who completed the learning about Creating Mood Through Word Choice. The folders will be shared with parents soon.

Colour was the word of the day - using it to help create mood.  We also used it as a learning device to create deep and meaningful metaphors that will challenge our readers to think.  Some of these will be shared here on the blog.

This week's Flipped Classroom Learning:

...is the art of creating a complete short story in exactly 55 words, no more, no less.

See here for details.

Due on Monday 13th.

Welcome to new students...

and welcome to Nathaniel, Emily, Olivia and Shannon!  Great to have you join this learning group!
