Students wrote a children’s story geared to their Kindergarten buddy class. They had to consider plot, characters, and setting.
Their story needed to consider their audience in its presentation. What would a kindergarten child like to see? How can you engage them? Some students were very good at making their PowerPoint young child friendly. They used simple words and bright, friendly cartoons.
I communicate clearly, in an organized way, using a variety of forms appropriately.
I acquire the information I need for school tasks and for my own interests, and present it clearly. In discussions and collaborative activities, I am an engaged listener; I ask clarifying and extending questions. I share my ideas and try to connect them with others’. I contribute to planning and adjusting a plan, and help to solve conflicts or challenges. I am able to represent my learning, and connect it to my experiences and efforts; I give and receive constructive feedback.
