Term 1 Week 8 (Covid-19 Lockdown Level 4)
Section outline
-
Context:
He waka eke noa (We are all in this together)

* Due to the sudden Covid-19 Lockdown (Level 4), school is closed physically, but classes remain active via distant learning online. The most important aim is to ensure students stay safe and calm and still experience some level of normality during this period of nationally enforced self-isolation.
* Introducing Zoom as our online lesson platform. Instructions have been given to students and some time is expected for the new format of routine and expectations to be established.
PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI
Learning Intentions:
- We are PLANNING to produce a presentation so that we can present our research findings and understanding of a health issue we have focused on.
- We are PLANNING to practise note-taking and note-making in our assigned healthy issue research so that we can demonstrate the main functions of the body systems involved.
Success Criteria: (Students can...)
- (refer to assessment rubric)
Assessment Task & Instructions:
- Groups have been assigned, please check the attached table for your assessment group.
- Different assessment topics - i.e. health issues - have been decided for each group to focus on.
- Please email Mr Choong should you (or your group) have any concerns or issues during the course of this assessment.
- Groups should aim at producing the video as the assessment has originally been designed; groups with the difficulty of collaborating effectively (online or remotely) may choose an alternative presentation format or medium, but this must be discussed and agreed upon with Mr Choong first.

* Alternatives to Short Film + Digital Brochure + Slides
- The presentation purpose of the assessment is to produce a health promotion of the body system you have been assigned to.
- Due to our lockdown situation, your group may need to adapt your method and media of presenting your research findings, if producing a short film is deemed too difficult.
- You can consider some of these alternatives: digital information pack, mini website, a short Ted-Talk type of tutorial, and SWAY (which I highly recommend, and more info attached below).
