Today I had the wonderful opportunity to join a large group of Scarsdale teachers for a workshop on blogging. To be honest I was very nervous and unfamiliar with this form of writing. Throughout the day we learned about how literacy has developed over the years and how digital literacy is very different from traditional literacy. We learned about documenting learning in Kindergarten through second grade using an app called Seesaw. Seesaw is a digital portfolio that empowers the youngest of learners to independently document what they are learning at school. The teachers in third through fifth grades were introduced to blogging so that they and their students have a place of their own to share their writing and thoughts. There are so many wonderful examples of teacher and student blogs already in Scarsdale! The posts included photos of field trips, reviews of books read, and even science experiments that were conducted. The work was inspiring.
I am looking forward to launching blogs with my students and watching the “pages” unfold.
The clip says to communities that no matter how a person looks and acts you should still include them into your community and get along with them or else the new person will feel excluded. It’s like when you go to a new schools and nobody will greet you or try to be your friend.
I think the antagonist is the bigger bird that tried to be their friend but he didn’t look like the smaller birds or act like the smaller birds so they didn’t be their friend so the smaller birds didn’t do the right choice .
