Yesterday I had the privilege of doing a Sharp Reading lesson for Hilton. He supported me where needed and modelled how it should be done.
I got confused during the "Convince Me" phase. He ironed out how I should not get confused between an instructional lesson and a guided lesson.
My goals for the next few weeks are to practice clearing the roadblocks and smoothing out the convince me phase.
I had another go at creating a Pepeha on Green Screen. My previous attempt was not great. So what did I do different this time?
1. I introduced Green Screen on its own. Students had to add a photo of their favourite animal and say something about it. So just speaking on the Green Screen.
2. Secondly, we did not waste time writing our Pepeha's in our books. I printed the ones that used the Papakura Pepeha and wrote the ones that had their own Pepeha in large writing using a different colour for each line. Which helped to prompt them to stop and watch if the next background photo is on the screen. We practice reading our Pepeha a few times with a buddy, creating a doughnut and sharing with a different person each time.
3. Thirdly, we typed up our Pepeha on Seesaw, adding photos/drawing to demonstrate the meaning e.g. Maunga (mountain). Then students recorded themselves reading their Pepeha. They only had a photo of their faces on, so the pressure was a little less as they could still read from their book.
e.g. Laweneta's Pepeha on Seesaw
4. Lastly, we started working on our Green Screens. First, we downloaded the photos that are linked to our Pepeha. We set the photos to show for only 5 seconds. We then had somebody hold the books up so that we could still refer back to them while creating the Green Screen.
The Results:
So I gave creating a digital Pepeha through Greenscreening a go. It was much harder than I anticipated. The challenge was not as much the digital, but more the Pepeha.
Here are some of the videos we made.
