Assembly - Active Learning

By
For our assembly we decided to share our learning maps.  We spent a long time identifying the writing barriers we have.  We presented those barriers as dangerous freshwater creatures of our choice.  The river houses the dangerous creatures that we identified as barriers to our success in writing.  The idea of active learning is still new for us so the process was heavily scaffolded by our teacher, Ms Corbett.  Likewise our assembly presentation was also guided by Ms. Corbett.  It is our goal to be more active in what we present both online and to our friends and other teachers in assembly.  Here are some samples of the maps we did with a few of the barriers highlighted for each.

In researching how to write Tuesday in "Chinese" I was aware there are at least 3 languages including Shanghainese, Cantonese and Mandarin. It's not as straight forward as that. Earlier, I chose a translation that I thought was dragon in a class activity today. The fluent Cantonese and Mandarin speakers in my class did not recognise the symbol. I was embarrassed that I had made a mistake which is one of the pitfalls of cross-cultural analysis. There are always positive outcomes for every situation and we were able to have a discussion about where the symbol may have originated. Another positive outcome is that I am extremely aware of my cultural limitations. So this will result in me asking more questions, seeking more input from experts in our class and in the community. As you can see, I was not confident enough in what I found on the internet to use it in my blog title. An opportunity for further learning. One of the challenges this week is to; LEARN - the signs o...
