ECL310 Week 9

This week I chose to do my multimodal text being a Youtube video on respect made by grade 5 students. In this video students used film, their voices and physical actions to portray a story of bullying how to treat each other with respect. This would be my mentor text as I would be able to delve into the topic of respect and how to be a good person and what actions you shouldn’t do. Perhaps use this to demonstrate to the class, my expectations of their behaviour.

Week 7 Post

Two resources I have found that would greatly help improve the literacy skills using technology for Teachers is the app ‘Confer’, which allows teachers to organise their notes for students during reading conferences, You can further use this app by creating different folders such as writing or reading and then inside those folders create individual folders for each student.

The other resource I would suggest is the article that gives tips and pointers on how to teach English effectively to the class.  It is called ‘10 Simple Strategies to Help Language Learners Succeed in the Classroom’  https://owlcation.com/academia/5-Easy-Strategies-to-Help-English-Language-Learners-Succeed-in-Your-Classroom

Week 3 ECL upload

The website I found that was very useful for helping teachers to find children literature, was a website called http://litkidz.com/. It is a website that provides options of children's literature in different age groups, going from 5-8, 9-12, 12-14. It also provides different categories for teachers to be able to select books easier, it also provides the cover of each book so teachers can actually see what it looks like.

ECL310 Week 2 post

This is a poster I created in one of my previous placements when doing literacy. This just helps the students when writing to thing about what questions they can ask, and what questions words we can use to ask a question.This helps students with starting their sentences or questions.

I read all of the Andy Griffiths books growing up, was my favourite book series, and really encouraged me to read as I got a lot of enjoyment out of reading them. From my literacy experience I would have students reading a book and from that create their own story using the characters involved in the story they are currently reading.  Due to me being read to or and encouraged to read at a young age, I encourage all my students to read at home, and would aim to make my literacy lessons entertaining by using a variety of different resources in lessons to keep the students engaged.
