Invasive vs Native Species -student iMovie

Students have created an iMovie for use in the Room 3 / 5 Variety Show. The final iMovie will have a voiceover from a 'script' written by the students reflecting their learning about both species (native & invasive) in their focus area.

The movie needed to demonstrate negative or positive emotive value i.e. invasive = negative/bullying/invading, native = positive/fragile/at risk

• 4-5 high quality photos chosen for emotive value.
• Title slide -font and colour chosen for emotive value.
• Transitions between photos chosen for emotive value.
• Optional use of zoom (Ken Burns effect) to highlight emotive effect of the image.

Please comment on how well the students have achieved these criteria

Dear Parents

This blog has been started so the Room 3 blog can be used for showing classroom work and can be run by the students. Homework will now be found here!

Hi there,
Because this blog has turned into a homework blog rather than a learning blog I have made a separate blog for homework!

Homework week 6 & 7

This is a 2 week homework task some aspects will be done in class. 

We are focussing on our Term 2 unit -Animal Planet in class and we have linked the Variety Show to this unit. All students have an animal they will portray in the show.

This homework task is to research both the native animal and the invasive species (in some cases this is humans) you are involved with in the Variety Show.

Week 1 -Find out;

• Natural habitat of both species
• Food sources of the both species
• Birth rate of both species
• How the invasive species was introduced to New Zealand
• You must include 2-3 sentences in your own words explaining what you think is the impact of the invasive species on the native species' habitat, food source, successful birth rate and how have the effects caused a decline in the native species population levels based on what you have found out.

In class you will present this work on a A3 sheet of paper as a poster.

Week 2 -Publish;

• A bold title (lettering (font) &  spaced out evenly)
• Images of the 2 species
• Your information in 3 sections on the poster -1 for the native species and 1 for the invasive species and 1 for your opinion
• Effective use of colour to attract attention
• Effective layout -Think about how you will place the title, text, and images on the poster
• You may want to use a border or frames (optional)

Homework week 3

Nga Mihi. This term one of our Te Reo Maori goals is Nga Mihi, a personal introduction, which is an important part of our national identity and understanding of our indigenous culture.   You need to know your mihi off by heart and pronounce it correctly (see the    marking guide in homework book) You will be expected to present this to the class in week 5.
