With such a diverse range of learners in a class, I found the T-shaped multi-modal structure creates opportunities for all students to connect in more than 1 way to the learning.
I'm still getting to grips with the different types of texts. I found the WFRC breakdown especially helpful:
With some guidance from Cheryl we collaboratively created a plan for a muti-modal literacy site.
We used this to help us create a google site.
I found using the class site a great tool for visibility in the classroom. This is something we already use on a regular basis in class. It has created the opportunity for children to go back and revisit areas of their learning in their own time.
Kia ora Neelam. I'm glad the timing of your staff meeting worked out well. The site looks great. Will you link it to your class site? I'd be really interested to see what within text and across text activities your students will be doing after this wide reading. Do you know what the narrow focus will be for students?
