Learning Experiences

In our Literacy workshops this week we focused on character traits and the use of data charts.  The character traits workshop was introduced with a short passage which the students responded to by describing the character.  We then looked at character maps and how they can be used to think about the different aspects of a character.  After generating their own adjective list the students then began describing their own character.

The focus of the data chart session was to increase the effectiveness of the students’ note-taking skills.  The students were shown how we read for specific information and then record this under headings that they had generated. The data charts included their prior knowledge.  This session will assist in future research.    

Have a great long weekend!
