My first CoL workshop - YAY!

 

Running a workshop on unpacking T-Shaped Literacy and Argumentation Writing with the awesome Team Tui at GTS

Yesterday I ran a workshop for our senior school teachers at GTS (Glen Taylor School) and unpacked what T-Shaped literacy model looks like and what argumentation board writing is. 

We looked at the text types involved in T-Shaped literacy and what planning and implementation for it looks like. 

We discussed in detail the provocations/statements and questions we can use that are in accordance with our learners interests. We talked about how we can have provocations that are topical but also cater for our learners interests.

We looked at what argumentation boards are and how these can be implemented through T-Shaped literacy. 

I will be going into the senior school classes next week to model a lesson/session on T-Shaped literacy and argumentation board writing. 

I am so glad to have made a start with my CoL journey this year. I look forward to working with colleagues across our Manaikalani Kahui Ako next Term.
