Evaluation: I think I need to make my directions more clear so my partner can get to where I want him to.

Feedback/Forward: I think that you did well on your geometry maybe you could add more of an image in my head. #Maraki

Storytelling

Purpose: Create a story to share orally

Description: Oral storytelling is a Maori tradition. We have been planning our own story to tell on the Marae in Week 7.

 

Image: 

Big Idea: My moral of my story is that Smart beats Strength. Of course a Bear Cub is smarter than a Wolf.

Evaluation: I think I need to talk a bit slower and use different voices for different characters

Feedback/Forward

I think that you have a really good plan but you can explain it a better because I didn't really understand it. #Maraki

Star Reading Test

Description: On Thursday we did a Star Test it was based on reading. Here is my test!

Big Idea: My Goal is to improve my Comprehension. To get better at that I need to ask questions to myself when I read so I can understand what the author means.
