Direct Instruction
In this video you will see tamariki engaging in a lesson about using turns when following directions.
Tamariki working on an independent activity to create a treasure map with a set of instructions for a friend to follow to find their hidden treasure.
Reflection
Recapping previous lesson was extended as many tamariki were away when we introduced the concept.
Tamariki were struggling with identifying left and right until we used kupu Māori. They then were able to instantly recognise left and right.
Tamariki absolutely loved making their own maps and engaged really well with each other when they were needing some awhi.
Create task needed to be cut back to two pages.
Learning Intention
Create a map with a set of instructions using the kupu:
left turn, right turn, quarter turn, half turn, under, over, through, past, around.
Instructions
On Explain Everything draw a map of an island. Identify where your treasure will be buried. Then write a set of directions for a friend to follow to find your treasure.
