Day 6 RPI Vocabulary and Decoding

 Vocabulary and Decoding

Fortunately after changing times and dates for this catch we were able to meet today Wataka 5 during a non-contact and learn more about the session which I missed because I was attending ToD June 19.

This is always one of my favourite topics and that is how to inspire students to learn new words after choosing a book of their choice. Learning new words, sounding them out, understanding the meanings and reusing these new words in conversation or to learn more about Vocabulary and Decoding.

Here are a few of the slides which I managed to save and share as I discovered that these are all useful activities to implement into class lessons which will encourage and challenge our akonga to learn. There are small notes which I made as I was listening to Kiri explain as we went along. 

Hyperbole

Place holder definition

Hit the vocabulary so that they can embed the new words


Connections game generated for our own learners

https://connectionsplus.io/create 


Vocab is visible



Read rebus - or brain teasers



Focusing on Tier 3 Science Focused words.

Be mindful of the hurdles.


Co build and write it in your own words. Semantic Webs  Dot to dot connections

Antenna Association. Frayer Models and four square adaptation Word in the middle Example Non Example 


 


More activities

Word consciousness

Questioning - Skill building

Matrix

High frequency morphemes


Building words from form - find or create a science version

Give them some strategies

 


Last term the focus was to have all students in my class reading for 10 minutes. This helped with a lot of the students going to the library, choosing books and then coming back to class and know that they had some serious reading to get through even if was only for 10 minutes. A challenge for some but a required skill for all.

Now that we have starfted week 2 of Term 2 our first focus was what do we know now about our chosen topics? And what do we want to find out about it. Our toipcs are Human Biology, Lost in Space, Living Things and Forces. These topics have a vast amount of vocabulary which is a good start for our students. I am hoping that I can implement the rest of ideas and resources which Kiri has shag=red in this Catch up session. Ka nui te mihi and thank you Kiri for sharing your valuable kowledge..

DFI 9 - Revision

Today's Blog was titled Revision. Time out was taken to reflect on where we had come from, the various gems we had picked up on the way and the whole journey with the Manaiakalani Facilitators throughout this nine week course of Digital Fluency. This was once again demonstrated in our Digital Bubbles where we were able to feedback on what had worked well over the week including any difficult areas of concern. Following this we had a presentation of the Manaiakalani Kaupapa on Ubiquitous by Dorothy.   The message which I received from this presentation is that life long learners need digital devices to tap into learning about anything and everything. There are a variety of resources and tools which can accompany ones learning if we all but use what is available and learn from the different aspects and experts who live and breathe this methodology and pedagogy. And from the slide it shows: The rest of the morning was focussed on sitting the Google Exam which was very inten...

Today after karakia and sharing our WWW with Digital bubble members we listened to more of the Manaiakalani pedagogy - CONNECTED. "Connected is a way of life for our students. Take it from them and they will check out." The LEARN CREATE SHARE goes with the CONNECTED UBIQUITOUS  VISIBLE  EMPOWERED. Something which I have learnt and applied to my learners is how to make buttons for my Reading Page. I did get stuck on how to shape the picture once I had copied it onto the Google Draw page however thanks to facilitator Nicola who explained how I had words on my picture which meant I hade to click on the picture only, and then go to the drop box beside the crop symbol which enabled me to find the circle shape and click on that. Once I was able able to create my buttons I decided to rename my Reading Groups to Kea Roopu, Kiwi Roopu and Tui Roopu. I added the list of names to each group. Once this was completed I sorted out the 9 weeks of Reading activities which have...
