Learning Observed

Jaylen has been learning to write Diamante Poems themed around his recent visit to Auckland Zoo. Firstly, Jaylen had to brainstorm different nouns, adjectives and verbs about giraffes.  Then he had to choose which ones he would use to make his poem make sense. Jaylen was given a template structure to follow, which listed the order in which his nouns, adjectives and verbs needed to be.  He was able to follow the structure independently to produce the above poem.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Jaylen demonstrated that he was: Connected - actively taking part in learning conversations and activities. Capable - understanding the different parts of speech have different purposes. Curious - asking questions and seeking new vocabulary. Thinking  - able to brainstorm and find words relevant to the topic.

Next Learning Steps

Teach others how to write a diamante poem. Begin thinking about opposite words for an antonym diamante poem.

Writing Narrative Assessment - 2 September 2016

Learner:  Jaylen        Learning Coach: M Lennon - LH2      Date: 2 September 2016

Learning Area:  Literacy

NZC Achievement Objective:  Students will acquire and begin to use sources of information, processes, and strategies to identify, form, and express ideas.  Indicator:  has an awareness of the connections between oral, written, and visual language.

Learning Observed

During iDevelop Jaylen has been learning that oral, written and visual texts can connect together.  Jaylen has done this over the course of a week by reading the pictures, reading the words and listening to the story being read.  The story chosen was Greedy Cat, by Joy Cowley. Firstly Jaylen helped his hapu group to predict and tell the story using only the pictures in the story. Jaylen was able to predict and draw some logical conclusions. Next he listened to the story being read to him and was showing his understanding by following along. After this Jaylen was able to read the story aloud, showing his understanding of what he had read. Jaylen showed his understanding of connecting the text orally, visually and in writing through his follow up activity where he drew a picture of Greedy Cat, wrote a sentence of what he thought Greedy Cat would eat out of his shopping bag and then shared his version of the story with others.
