Listening

FDescription: Today me finis, Mike and Telina made a movie on the three different types of listening. Active listening, me two listening and busy listening


Big idea: Active listening is we're your really engaged and interested in what they are saying. Me to listening is where your story is more important the the other persons story and busy listening is when the thing you're do is more important the there story And your hardly listening to there story.

Feedback/Feedforward:
Fb I like how you shared parts for the movie
FF you need to have a louder voice
AngusM


Evaluation: I think we did well at acting the different listening but we definitely need to speak louder cause I could only just hear us.
I also think that I'm going really well at being an active listener.

Waitangi

Description: In the past two week Max and I have been making a movie on the Treaty of Waitangi. We did it to show our understanding about the treaty of Waitangi. I'm at the Waitangi Marae and Max is in the newsroom. to get our information we watched I short Movie and then asked questions. Then we read websites to answer our questions. Max and I used the information we had collected and made a movie. Enjoy



Big idea: I learnt 5 new facts about Waitangi. One of them was that it wasn't a public holiday until the 6th of Febuary 1960 and that the Maori did not really understand the English language when the treaty was sighed.

Feedback/feedforward: maybe you both could speak a little louder but I think it was good because they were clever to use the green screen. Houston

Evaluation: I think we included a range of facts but we are not relational because we have two groups of two that relate so we are briging the gap between multi and relational. Next time I will try to get relational because we came so close this time.

One Word

WALT: Set Goals

Description: Today we have been learning to set goals. It had to be one word long. My word is Balance. 
Because I want to spend the same amount of time on things I'm bad at and good at. Eg writing and maths. I spend more time on maths than on writing.
