You know you are hooking in the kids when they are wanting more bookless days! Yesterday Maree lent me her 5 iPads to use while they were at technology. Reading time the chn were reading our class and team blogs and leaving comments or reading ebooks or ipad apps relevant to literacy. The class was humming and full engagement! (Rotation of chn typing up their Mum poems on keynote, and changing their title font was a huge hit)
Writing time we looked at what makes a great blog comment using some of SOLO criteria. Used Cushlagh's Happy video as a model and the chn TPS comments, which were written up.
We spoke about thin and thick questions
And how this takes a blog comment from good to GREAT!
We also decided that we wanted to create a conversation and engage the blogger/author so asking questions would do this as well as give us more information about the bloggers post.
The chn then went off and made GREAT blog comments. Most chn achieved this and relished the opportunity, where some mucked around.
Overall an excellent and exciting opportunity to have and injects some authentic MLP into LC 10.
Can't wait for next Wednesday!
P chn engaged, writing was authentic
