I am Edward and my start of the 2021 year was great.
My blog is a collection of my work at various stages, across different curriculum areas. Throughout my time at Paparore School I may share draft copies of my work for feedback and feedforward. Other times I will share my final published pieces.

Edward getting up and ready
Recount with a difference- WALT sequence ideas and avoid repetition
Eyes to wall,
clothes to body,
hands to remote,
ears to cartoons ( only Looney Toons ),
feet to kitchen,
eggs to pan,
breakfast to mouth,
food to lunch box,
lunch to bag,
shoes to feet ( no socks ),
self to car,
feet to bus,
transport to school ( not always fun ).

walt- write paswsively
Kia ora my name is Edward. I am going to change your mind about online learning. It’s not magic but common sense!
Card 1
Attention Grabber
Firstly I will share with you an interesting fact.
86.2 percent of my class prefer online learning than face to face learning, and that's not including me. That means that 3 people out of 30 don’t like online learning.
Card 2
Introduction-state your opinion
From my learning survey I can prove students prefer online learning to face to face in my class.
Card 3
The body-3 reasons
Reason 1.
I can get more help if I get stuck when I am learning online. Explanation - My teacher is on line for a specific amount of time and my parents are nearby if I need to talk to them, I don’t have to wait in a line to get my turn for help.
example- I did email the teacher for help because I was stuck
Card 4
Reason 2.
I can work independently without many interruptions.
Explanation - There are no people who will distract me by talking to me. If I am on line I can ignore people who are not doing the right thing or push the mute button on my computer .
Card 5
Reason 3.
My dad thinks I use a device too much so I'm only allowed the first half of the day online.
Explanation. I use my device more when I am learning online because at home I barely use my computer at all because my dad says I will get square eyes which is just a saying to keep people off devices.
Card 6
Conclusion-restate your opinions
I really do believe that online learning is better than face to face learning and I think it's the best way to learn for me.
Thank you.
