Fiona+Feedback

=Fiona Feedback= Wednesday, 4 June Thanks for the evidence you have uploaded to-date. There is a range of types of evidence which is great. Just a point to make. When you are providing some annotation next to or underneath the evidence could you please date it and maybe indicate at what stage of the inquiry or what activity it was. This is so when I come to make sense of it at the end of the project I can interpret it better.

Cheers. Keep up the good work,

Fiona

Thursday, 5 June Hi Deb, I have had a closer look at the evidence and my notes are below. I like your annotations. As you add more to this I’d like to hear about how the environment leads to/ relates specifically to, the learning you require in this unit. Maybe add how the tool supported the learning (refer to the ‘thread’ of the story) in your unit In this section think about how Reflection, Thinking, Exploring, Communicating & collab. develop essential Knowledge Skills Understandings students are to develop in the unit. Usually KLA specific. You have gone some way to doing this and have focused on collaboration in developing K, S, U This is where you could have an audio grab or video of you talking about the students responses to the first Photo activity – how it was/ is essential to tackle stereotypes. Also include any personal learning you may have undertaken Great to see some video footage of kids. Maybe the reflection stems could promote deeper reflection rather than “this is what we’ve learnt” eg. What I used to think, I now think. What this activity made me think about… etc

Tuesday, 22 July Hi Deb, In relation to the learning outcome for your unit I am really interested in how you supported students to address their stereotypes of different cultures so will be focussing on that in the Story of Learning. It would be good for one of the teachers to reflect on how the 'Hot Potato' activity supported students' thinking around this issue. I really liked what a couple of students said about stereotypes in the videos on student learning page.

I will also be interested in how you supported the students in consdering the feelings of others in their puppet plays. I would like to focus on the WriteBoard tool and how this enabled learning that may not have been possible.

The photos are great and will support the central story.

I am attaching a document of questions I will go through with you tomorrow when I call. [|Guiding Questions for Learning Story St Pius X.doc]
