4 shot movie

We have been learning about camera shots and angles recently.  We found out about the different types and what they are used for.  Some of us made these posters to help us remember them all.

Then we had a go at telling a story using 4 of these shots, without talking.  Here are our movies.

Chapter Chat

Us getting ready for our first Chapter Chat

Last week Te Maunga took part in our first Chapter Chat.  Chapter Chat is a twitter chat involving lots of classes and students around New Zealand talking about the same novel.  The book we are all reading this term is Ghost by Jason Reynolds.(Click here to find out more about this book)  We are loving the book so far!  We get 10 questions to discuss during the chat and we can complete some tasks related to the chapters we read that week.

Some of us couldn't drag ourselves away from the chat!

We have had to learn how to use Twitter, how to get our point across in less than 140 characters, how to be good digital citizens, how to answer questions about the book and how to respond to others properly.

Some of enjoyed it so much we stayed in class after the bell went to keep participating!

We can't wait for the next chat!
