So Whats Our Plan?

One hour sped by so quickly today.  We all brought our special tāonga into  school today (even Mrs T).  She shared her tāonga and writing with us. We can use hers as a model for when we write our script for our digital story.

The first thing we did was plan what we are going to include in our digital story script.  We used a tool called MindMeister.  We created a brainstorm of all our ideas on our special tāonga / treasure.  

We only had 15 minutes to create our MindMeister brainstorm.  We worked so hard.  Mrs T was the noisy one, Mahutonga had to ask her to be quiet so he could think.  Here are our brainstorms.

If you find it hard to read our brainstorm.  Ask us to show you and we can login at home into our Google account and go to our Google Drive.

Next week we're going 'pull apart' Mrs T's writing and then start writing our script.  We have to remember to bring our shoe box back to school.  Mrs T  told us it's okay to start writing our script before next week.  We just have to remember to use hers as a model.  Hmmmm can we use any 'fancy pancy' words like she did?

Next week we will start:

• writing our script
• learning how to use online thesaurus to help us extend into level 2 vocabulary.  We are going to be able to use amazing adjectives to help build images in our readers mind.

Hopefully in Week 4 we will be starting to publish our photos and record our script into WeVideo.

Our First Day ...

Today our minds are exploding with new knowledge.  

We learnt to log onto the school server 

AND 

sign into our school account.

Each of us has our own Google Drive which means we can do work:

anytime

anyplace 

anywhere

We also made a shared digital story.  We had to introduce ourselves.

Mrs T showed us what are digital stories?
Why we  are going to be writing digital stories?

Here is a diagram for our mums and dads.

We hope you enjoy our first digital story all about our amazing group!
