Ms Tathams' 2016 School reports

As I am writing reports for my kids they are given an opportunity to write them for me! I encourage them to be honest but fair, just as I am when writing thier reports. They also provide me with next steps to enable me to keep improving in the classroom. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-7JslhJrCPvX94cyhvqJuE-vm_IporCapkOWSdAFG5I/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VGJJzufWB0rwcVZ2zzhH3sGXc3wNZarAkkJbUGTnduE/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/19tZyAItneCqAoYhS8Hy07umk8PqOBc92EV4UDNxzXiA/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ldvUEPRX5A9PdEorDLBiRQ6mNx5D5ZktuCQV_maR5d0/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/1znIc7GEu5IT7PQMDq_fhhL6a5qktu_vi-Yk5emozjTY/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/10CWVee9h9XuefyT2NiqHt11lIWzu3pGEuAeefH0_DSM/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fmb0bZNffpcBMB7gtFIAyCNmf7T0plbRpXbrJfDa3WM/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/122Qa0ljnqtdH-L4sm7QT4R8QH3fnnZzGEg9N4nvh0DI/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iw_CKCJWWSbh9-g8ohxm9jE-MbaUg7XJyuWvpqb4ci8/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/192tYL4qm3_cgEc5PPmTBkkZqSXxP_dWrvKod9NAEnzw/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VhM5oOlqZgTiOewYXjWeyoQUB3PvP3XV15SYpm18tFw/pub

Yr 10 Cooperative Slideshows

Students were given a copy of the Slide Show task sheet. They were being assessed on their group slide show and how well they worked cooperatively. This learning task taught students a lot about how to effectively work as a team and how to delegate. Students were also responsible for managing their time to ensure they completed the slideshow by the due date. Groups were given a strict word limit to eliminate copying and pasting and making each slide to wordy. The purpose of our slide shows are to compliment an oral presentation and not provide viewers with a lot of reading. Some of the slides in the slide shows met the success criteria of a slideshow, some still need development but all students worked cooperatively and discusssed and shared thier ideas which was the goal of the oral language component of this task.

Yr 9 Cooperative Slideshow

Students were given a copy of the Slide Show task sheet. They were being assessed on their group slide show and how well they worked cooperatively. This learning task taught students a lot about how to effectively work as a team, how to delegate and for one group what to do when you are left to do it all! Students had marks deducted for copy and pasting and making each slide to wordy. The purpose of our slide shows are to compliment an oral presentation and not provide viewers with a lot of reading. Some of the slides in the two slide shows met this criteria and some need tweaking to make the grade.
