Three word summary


As a group read a text on
moving to Australia,
individually students are
to think of three words to
sum up the text and share
to group
We will work as a class to collaboratively view a still image, teacher to model how to complete a in depth analyse of it. Students will
then partner off and work on a series of still images and complete a See-Think-Wonder thinking routine on them. Students will then
come back together to discuss what we noticed, how they made us feel, what we thought was happening.
