Year 7 & 8 Mōhua A

...for example, straight from unit planning to student speak here:

Term one, week one:

Learn/Ako - To know: (stating our learning intentions, activation of wanting to learn, and/or connection to prior knowledge here). 

Appropriate text relevant to this here. E.G youtube video, image, article, do now task...

Create/Waihanga: - to act: (what are we doing this week to support our AKO?) 

Tasks, expectations, links, etc here. The point is that your learning is rewindable. We aren't here to catch the kids out for not being present or listening 'properly'. We are here to give them that chance to really dig in when they need to and go back over their learning opportunities as often as required. 

Share/Tohatoha - Value and celebrate your learning

We commonly refer to 'blogging' your work for this section, which is really very useful(click on the link!) as it creates an invaluable journal of learning, and it can be all stages, not just finished products. 

Here are some ideas that sharing could be in your learner's lives:

• Blogging where they are up to ad what they are stuck on currently

• Taking one concept that you have taught in class and making an infographic on Canva for it

• Peer critique in person, group critique in person - you could still then record these sessions as audible records or on paper and blog them too if you wanted!

• Take a photo or video of the learning and review it individually or in groups

• Perform to an audience and receive feedback

• Handing in your work and/or using Hapara workspace as a way of logging digital work for 'assessment'. 

There will be many, many more. The point is to value the learning process and outcome.
