Novel study wikispaces

Each of you is in a novel study group to practice reciprocal reading.
In your group you have a leader. You also need someone to post your responses on your group's wikispace. You need to follow the link and apply to sign up.
:-)
This is a chance to showcase your literacy skills online. I'm sure the BoT, Principal, DPs, your parents, etc will be delighted to follow your academic work online.

"Pie" Charts plus Sausage Rolls

Healthy eating issues are very serious and we need to be aware of what we are eating as it affects our health, our mental preparedness for working and our general mood.
As part of our stats investigation we are designing new mini topics to investigate in our maths groups.
Today one group visited the local bakery to gather data on what ratios/proportions/percentages/fractions of the food available were healthy or unhealthy. Our first group gathered data in two ways - as a tally chart in food groups and as a visual representation based on the cabinets and what they were filled with. To follow up, the girls decided to put the data into a pie chart. Then they decided to make an actual pie, bring it to class, divide it up in to the correctly proportioned sections, photograph it, eat it, upload the images and written descriptions to either their blogs or wikis as evidence of their learning.
After that, they can transfer the new knowledge into a health lesson and as a recommendation report for the canteen.

Online Learning Communities

Blogs, Wikis and Microblogging are proving to be useful learning and teaching tools for me as a learner/teacher. My colleagues Heheboy and Efreeman are particularly helpful in designing amazing online learning resources and sharing ideas online via Twitter and so forth.
