What we already know
Learning intentions

Share words and ideas about the landscape around our Owhiro Bay
Success criteria:
You are able to show what words or ideas you have contributed to the class 'before' ideas.
Activity
Go to the shared Google doc
Assign a colour to each group (2 per group)
Students access the Google doc (anyone can veiw and edit) and brainstorm their ideas (putting their ideas into the appropriate colour cell)
Have the Google doc on the data projector to monitor progress and provide a motivator / audience for all contributors
After 10 minutes get students to look for common ideas and words and duplicates.
Publish the tidied-up Google doc.
You may find it useful to look at a Google map of Owhiro Bay, or the photo of Wellington below to help you brainstorm ideas.
