Our 9th and final session of RPI was all about sharing. More specifically, creating opportunities for students to create. It is on us as teachers to ensure students have these opportunities to share their learning to an authentic audience that has been created over their time online.
My time here has been precious as we have been gifted so much knowledge, activities and learnings we can pass on to our students and create for them.
I can officially say I have completed the RPI course - YAY!
Memorable Gems:
Vocabulary tasks - I have thoroughly enjoyed the variety of ways vocabulary work has been pitched for our students from visual images of meanings to 3 levels of understanding for different words. This has given me so many more ideas I can set as vocabulary tasks each for my learners.
Create Tasks - Digital affordances have opened the door for endless create tasks our students could complete as a response to text. This gives the task meaning, and also gives us teachers insight to their reading abilities and comprehension of a text.
Types of Texts - Mirrors, windows and sliding doors. I still remember this session vividly as it really spoke to me to be mindful when selecting texts to ensure students are getting a variety of texts which open their minds to the wider world as well as seeing themselves reflected in the stories they read.
I could go on and on but I am just so grateful for this opportunity to take in RPI this year. I have learnt A LOT and have added so much more to my kete. Thank you to our facilitators Naomi, Kiri and Janet for encouraging us each week. Thank you!
