Create

As a class, generate some positive slogans about Gemina.

Why was she so important?

What did message did she give the world?

What can we learn from her?

What does she represent?

Create a paper.

Create an interactive

Create an interactive collage of the giraffes you've learned about in this book.

What were their names?

Why were they so special?

Create a video to re-tell one of the Giraffe's stories!

Reflect and Connect

Think about it:

What skills and competencies are students developing while learning?

How might we document, share, reflect and connect with our learning communities in order to drive thinking forward?

Create, reflect upon and share learning via a documentation panel or audit trail

How might this panel provide you more insight to what is happening in the learning environment?

How might this panel spark dialogue and discussion about teaching and learning practices?

How might this panel empower learners (students and teachers)?

How might you caption the learning? How might the students?

What might you continue to wonder in order to drive learning forward?

Document and share learning with a learning story

Feel free to make a copy and edit for your own learning.

Forest of Reading learning journals and badges

What if students documented their learning with a learning journal created with Google Slides?

What if students got badges for the skills they used through Forest of Reading learning opportunities?
