Learning Observed

For iExplore we are learning about Dr Seuss. We have been discussing the different books that he created and all about our favourite books of his. During this session we were exploring different Dr Seuss books and reading parts of them. Since we only had 8 books we had to work collaboratively. I was very impressed with Simeon and Ronav who were showing their capabilities in collaboration. They were taking turns and discussing what was happening. Once they had changed to different story there was discussion around why this story is better or not as good as the last. Each book they went to they had this discussion. The expression that both of the learners were showing while reading was great.

Evidence of learning

Simeon and Ronav reading to each other. Ronav is putting on a different voice. Simeon thought it was very funny.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Collaboration is being used in this session. “Relating to others” was a Key Competency being used during this session as both learners had to think about the other one a make sure that they were having a turn. “Thinking” was being used as they learners had to think about what they liked about the text and how it compared to the other texts they had read.

Next Learning Steps

Simeon and Ronav’s next learning steps are: come up with a question about the text that they liked. create a learning adventure based on that question.
