Today we focused on sharing reading. We all had to be a blog detective and explore a blog post and profile. I chose Adan's and filled out the google draw template below focussing on what he's like as a reader from his blog, what he's good at and his interests.
I was impressed with Adan's blog and will use the template we were given for my students to have a go at. Seeing what other students are creating for their blogs is a great task and can broaden the horizons of both students and teachers when blogging.
Naomi discussed how a school adds a disclaimer to their blogs
e.g Catalina @ Hornby Primary
I am a Year 5 student at Hornby Primary School in Christchurch, New Zealand. My teachers are Mr Taylor and Miss Scott. This is a place where I share my learning so sometimes my work may not be complete. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave a comment.
This was a gem of an idea which I will be implementing for my students. Then hopefully this will get more blogs posted especially if we run out of time to do the quality check and go from Hand-it-in, straight to publish.
Visible Reading & Learning Blog title - Naomi’s good idea when students create blog titles
E.g Today when you post a title use figurative language e.g pun, alliteration, rhetorical question, simile etc I will use this too with my students to help jazz up their blog titles.
I really enjoyed this RPI course and look forward to improving my reading practice with all the awesome resources we've been given and been shown how to use.
Naomi, Kiri and Anna have been brilliant facilitators and made this course enjoyable, fun, productive and challenging.
Now to the hard part, implementation!:)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing the nine days of the RPI and on graduating the wider programme. What a great achievement over a very intensive three terms!
It has been super encouraging to read your takeaways from the final day and the impacts of the overall RPI journey on your practice. As you indicate, the blog detective task and using a blog like Adnan’s to inspire students will show that there is so much potential learning from making an ongoing record of their learning, in an personalised and multimodal way - not to mention the sharing opportunities with others, including whānau. I’m super pleased that you find the disclaimer for students’ blogs to be a useful addition to their introductory description.
We also really look forward to hearing the outcome of your follow up Reading Survey with students. Do keep in contact and share the results!
All the very best going forward with your ongoing implementations from the RPI content and for a well deserved, restful non-contact time during the break!
