Learning Observed
Ami & Elnaz began to learn about Storybird when the Hickey hapu wrote the story ‘Quack the Cat’ together. Both girls were happy that Ms Wilkes made them their own accounts.  Some LH6 girls came to work with us and their buddy was Yuvika. Yuvika patiently helped them to login to their Storybird accounts and helped them use the program so their funny, creative ideas could become a story. Each boy used their own account for their story.  It was challenging for Ami & Elnaz to remember to try to use -at words in the story but they loved looking through all the pictures. It was good that Yuvika helped them stay focused and they created some interesting stories with her.  Yuvika helped the girls to stay on task, and together they created some wonderful creative stories which were inspired by the pictures they selected from the Storybird library.  Initially Yuvika did most of the typing but all of the ideas came from the Ami & Elnaz. Yuvika came to work with them 6 times for 25 minutes. Ami & Elnaz have very unique ideas and demonstrates a growing understanding that they are writing for an audience and that the purpose is to entertain.  They used some appropriate and purposeful language features as well- such as metaphor, alliteration and rhyme.  Read the amazing stories where embedded below, by clicking on the links or by logging into Storybird.
