  • Kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui

    Be strong, be brave, be steadfast

    Kia ora. I hope you have all had a restful weekend and have not had to stress too much over assessment tasks.  If you have managed your time well, your may have had a few polishing details to do, but the bulk of your work will be completed.  Remember, this week you are uploading the same document with all required tasks to both Global and English.  You will need:

                      • Transcript (translated to English if necessary)
                      • Storyboard
                      • Paragraphs about Taonga and National Identity
                      • Paragraphs about Visual Language (Film) Techniques
                        • ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

    We will use some class time in the following weeks to work on editing and uploading our interview videos to the Whare Taonga slides.  I also want to look at personal writing - writing that is not necessarily intended for an audience, but writing that helps your record moments, feelings and events that may have significance for further generations.

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

        • Write from a personal point of view

        • Include events, actions and feelings in my writing to describe the moment in time

        • Explored personal writing from other moments in time

    Activities:

    1. Submit Assessment task
    2. Brainstorm moments in time of interest to you personally that allow you to read personal writing
    3. Use your library/research skills to find personal writing
    4. Start you own personal writing journey

    Homework:

    UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE......

    Phew - now that I have your attention.   

    If you can get your assessment task uploaded, please do so - it is important that we stick to routines where we can - but then.......  relax, find something to do that calms you - perhaps it is reading, or craft, or a walk or even gaming.....

    I have started a diary - not necessarily to share but to record what is happening at the moment and how I feel about it.  I encourage you to do the same.  Your perspective is important - you are able to be the historians of this moment.  You can use an online platform like blogger.com - create a google doc, or go old-school like me and grab an exercise book (or a fancy diary with a lock).

    We have 4 days until the end of the term as the school holidays have been moved to the start of next week.  We will have some distance learning after that until we are all able to return to school.  This all happened so suddenly we were unable to farewell each other and that is pretty unsettling - so from me to you,  Have a safe and relaxing holiday break and I will see you all next term.  I am looking forward to hearing about what you have got up to.  

    I have set up an edmodo class page - you can access it by going to edmodo.com and signing in with google (school account) Chick on "I am a student" and join with class code jrk5yi - please don't share this with anyone who is not in 10M2  I will remove anyone who is not in the class, and can also see everything you write.  I can change your status to read only if you do not use this space appropriately.  Oh - and I will put the general Knowledge Quiz up on google classroom for you.  May the odds be ever in your favour.
