Nga Mihi

LI: To create a visual mihi that allows others to connect to us and our place in the world.

At this time of year when we are meeting new people we are still getting to know each other. One way we can do this is by sharing our mihi. This way others will know who we are and will be able to make connections to us and our place in the world. We made a google slide showing our mihi and images we had drawn. Lastly we made a screencastify of ourselves reading our mihi. I found this task really enjoyable because I got to learn my mihi and got to share to the others who read my blog. 

 

TEEL Paragraph

LI: To understand how TEEL paragraphs can help us structure our information and ideas in a paragraph

We use paragraphs in our writing to expand on an idea. In LS2 we use the TEEL acronym (Title, Elaborate, Evidence and Link) to help us structure our thinking. The example on my DLO shows our Explanation using the TEEL structure and a little bit about how the TEEL acronmy helps you and what it does to improve on your explanation writing. I found this task very interesting because since we just started back at school our minds may have forgotten a bit when we went into our holiday, so it was very fun jumping back into our learning and remembering how to do things.

The first slide we spelt our names on a picture of a keyboard showing who completed the slide deck. Slide two tests how well we know the keyboard by point the right text to the right key.

I found this task interesting because I learnt new shortcuts I could use.We did this so that other people can learn the shortcut to help them do better with their learning.
