Matariki Reading Work!

 Matariki Reading Work

Kia Ora everyone!

For this Matariki post I am going to write about the Matariki Digital Learning Object (DLO) we have been making in reading for Matariki reading work. To make this DLO we could use either Book Creator, google slides or a google drawing. I chose Book Creator to do my DLO. We had to find facts about Matariki from one of the Matariki books we read. We had 3 questions to base our DLO on. The questions were what is Matariki?, how has the celebration of Matariki changed this century? and how and why we celebrate Matariki? My focus question was what is Matariki since it kind of covers everything.

For the question how has the celebration of Matariki changed this century we had to read books on the olden days of Matariki and find out what we do to celebrate Matariki in this century. For the question how and why we celebrate Matariki we had to find information on why we celebrate Matariki and different legends about it then find out how we celebrate Matariki and make a DLO about it. As i mentioned above the question what is Matariki kind of covered everything. We used what we already knew and started a DLO straight away, then we basically did the same thing as the other questions. I finished my DLO here is the photos of how it looks like:

Hope you enjoyed reading it blog you later!

Olympics: how it has changed

Olympics: how it has changed

Kia orana everyone! This DLO post I am going to tell you about the reading work we have done. Since the Olympics were on the teachers decided to do something about the Olympics in reading so we had to create a DLO about the Olympics. We had 3 topics to do our DLO on: "what is happening at NZ for the Olympics right now", "How the Olympics have changed from the ancient modern and present" and "what makes up the features of the summer Olympics". I chose how the Olympics have changed. We could either do our DLO on a google slideshow or Book Creator, I chose to use Book Creator.

We had to follow this success criteria: 

Find important information about my topic.

Find information from a range of sources including one I have found by myself

Write information in my own words in my DLO

Include a clear heading and subheadings in my DLO

My layout is clear and easy to read

I have included relevant pictures to add interest to my presentation.

My information and ideas help my audience to understand the learning

My favorite part about doing this DLO was how I learnt different things about modern and ancient Olympics! Here is the photos of my book:
