Hey #NZreadaloud team.
We are using Blogger again this term in the hope it becomes a bit more interactive than previous terms.
With our 'go-to' platform Edmodo closing down, we need to find another place for our students to participate in critical literary discussions and I think Blogger has the potential to be used in a similar way.
This will be successful if we give students time to engage with the platform.
Incorporate blog reading and replying into your programme. Teach your students HOW to end their post with a question to encourage others to come in and reply. This is all great literacy learning and it is this dialogic discussion between students that we want to encourage.
The blog is also a space for you and your class to share any learning they are doing during the reading of our Term 1 book.
This could be photos of their sketch-noting, predictions and / or connections they are making, questions they want to put to others, words and language features they have investigated or research they have done.
When students post something, ask them to explain the learning they have done from the work. Get them to complete their post with a question which others can come in and reply or comment on.
