Today to improve our blog entries I set a challenge to the Room 3 learners. They had to write an article that met the following criteria:
WALT: write a personal narrative
Our Success Criteria
* Has a title that matches the story.
* Has an orientation (who, what, where, when...)
* Uses a variety of sentence types (simple and compound.
* May include complex sentences.
* Use a simile.
* Includes a personal statement.
* May include a complex sentence.
We have been learning a lot about sentence structures this term as well as making our writing interesting to read. In Room 3 we are all aiming to write at level 2.

Today I set the room 3 learners the task of making an animoto or picture trail using 5 of the photos taken at gymnastics. We had a great time creating them and this was the example I use to take them through step by step. I was so amazed how the kids who finished first became class teachers and helped other learners work on their presentations. True team work. So many skills were covered today including uploading photos (finding the right folder proved to be tricky for some), Adding text, copying embeded codes and inserting them into articles. The results are fantastic. Some learners are still finishing theirs but most have been published to their own blogmeister pages if you want to take a look.
