Whakamanawa Writing

 Our Holidays


This week when we were working in our home base class, Whakamanawa created a collaborative piece of writing to share something about our holidays.  

We each had a slide and specific learning outcomes and criteria.  Throughout the week, we gave each other feedback and feedforward.  We then edited our writing and focused on what we could do to improve the quality.  Miss Waho then gave some more suggestions and we acted on those.

On Friday, we got into groups and read our writing to our partners.  We gave a final piece of feedback and feedforward and discussed what it means to be able to work in a group for different situations.

We worked on our digital fluency skills and shared a screenshot of our individual work on our blogs.  

Here is the slide we created:


Next time, we will duplicate our slides so we can show our before feedforward and the finished version.
