Mr McLean ended up being absent for the last week of Term 3 (sorry about that – he missed you all, although he did some moderating from home). The student rappers finally did their evaluation comments on the rap this week:
Participating in the Book Week 2011 book rap, what did Stage 1 book rappers at this school learn about books and reading?: reading is really fun, reading helps you when you’re writing, reading is educational, books without pictures can make you use your imagination.
What did we learn about digital stories? Watching other schools’ stories gives us great ideas for more stories, it’s fun to create characters and decide what they can say or do, they are excellent to read.
What did we learn about technology? Using the IWB makes us want to ask questions, technology can help us share our work with others, we can use the search engine to find video clips, technology helps us with entertainment and education. Thanks for rapping with us! penrithpsrappers and Mr McLean.
On a teacher front, Mr McLean discovered an excellent online tool for ensuring that blog comments don’t exceed the 1000 character limit imposed by blogED. Go to www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/charcount.shtml “ and simply cut and paste your proposed text into the box before returning here and hitting “Post” on the blog.
We hope you all enjoyed the rap.
