 Middle Goals and Examples TERM 3 & 4 2008

MARY Auta YR 3/4 **__Goal:__** Use ICT to enhance children's oral language skills **__Learning Intention for Activity:__** Develop children's understanding of the value: "Perserverance"       At Whakarongo School, the students are encouraged to learn about and show a variety of different values which contribute towards them becoming the best Whakarongo Kid they can become. One of these values is pererverance. To develop the children's understanding of this value, the teacher got the children to create their own perserverance story. They then had to decide how they could animate this story. Their ideas for this animation were story-boarded and then recorded. As this teachers goal was to enhance children's oral language skills, the children then recorded their voices over the animation using expression. Here is an example of the animations produced. media type="youtube" key="Yz_56iAx9wQ" width="425" height="350"    <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 43, 255); text-align: left; display: block">   <span style="font-size: 190%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 3)">MEGAN Wilson YR 3/4 <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)">**__Goal:__** Use ICT to enhance children's oral language skills <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)">**__Learning Intention for Activity:__** Combine written language and oral language to create an animated story. <span style="font-size: 280%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 76, 150); text-align: center; display: block"><span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)"> <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 43, 255); text-align: left; display: block"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"> <span style="font-size: 40%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">   <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">This term the children have been looking at non-verbal communication and how we can communicate a message without the use of words. We looked at some of the Mr. Bean movies and this was very motivating for children to see how a message could be communicated with body language and facial gestures. We then planned our own Mr. Bean scenes - these had to be clearly written so that people could easily the message that was trying to be conveyed and of course, they had to have an element of humour too! Once these were written, children had to decide how they would animate their stories. We looked at other examples of animation to see how this could be done and decided that we would search for images on Google to use as the basis of our paper animations. Once the animation had been recorded, we then added voice-overs to narrate the story as this was our overall goal. Here is one of our results. media type="youtube" key="27d7APzMPLk" width="425" height="350" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"> <span style="font-size: 280%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 76, 150); text-align: center; display: block"><span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"><span style="font-size: 40%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">  <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)"> <span style="font-size: 190%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 3)">NOELINE Smith YR 4/5 <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)">**__Goal:__** Use ICT to enhance the visual arts <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)">**__Learning Intention for Activity:__** Capture close-up images of everyday objects for visual effect. <span style="font-size: 280%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 76, 150); text-align: center; display: block"><span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)"> <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 43, 255); text-align: left; display: block"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"> <span style="font-size: 40%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">   <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">This term the children were introduced to the digital microscope. This was a very motivating experience and the children worked hard to perfect the use of this piece of technology as it was very touch-sensitive. The children then had to capture close-up images of everyday objects which would have maximum visual impact. They were able to capture some awesome images of amazing details. The children also inserted these images into a slideshow format to share with peers. The next step of this process would be to add creative writing to the images captured. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"> <span style="font-size: 280%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 76, 150); text-align: center; display: block"><span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"><span style="font-size: 40%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">  <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(0, 48, 255)"> <span style="font-size: 280%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 76, 150); text-align: center; display: block"><span style="font-size: 190%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 3)"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(15, 0, 0)">
