Learner: Shivran                   Learning Coach: DiWilkes                        Date: 23-03-15

Learning Area: iExperience (Social Sciences)

Learning Observed

Shivran selected ‘Project Geos’ for his iExperience activity this week.  Today Shivran learned all about different geographic features in order to create a map for a country of his own invention.  Shivran asked what the difference was between a ‘gulf’ and a ‘bay’ and also sought clarification on what a peninsula was.  He had to select a ‘theme’ for his country in our new world ‘Geos’ and he selected ‘Football’.  He generated names of all the different geographical features in his country, first as a brainstorm in his learning book, and then he completed the Info Sheet in the google doc (page 3).   In preparation for drafting his map, it is essential that he complete this.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Shivran related well with others today.  He demonstrated our Principle of ‘curiosity’ when he asked questions for clarification.  Shivran is developing his capability in map making and exploring his creativity.  I wonder if he will do some of this thinking at home in preparation for Wednesday?

Next Learning Steps

Complete the geographical feature information sheet before map drafting Draft the map of his country, design a flag for his country Maximize use of his time by removing himself from distractions Create a population map for his country
