= Hi again. You have done a good job Kasumi, but I think that in Victoria we should be structuring our lesson sequence around the e5 please check here-e5 Also the current lesson sequence is very focussed on immigration, not the goldrush. In this case the excursion should be to the immigration museum not sovereign hill. I do not see the relevance for a poster making session in grade 3/4. I will have a go at editing this sequence and reposting it up here :-)Imogen Hi Imogen, I really like both unit planning and 5 e structure will be great as well. I am not sure what to do which it the best. I understand your point of view about focussed on immigration not the gold rush. What would you like to do to focussed on what it most easier for us to do. Did you have a look at exampler 2 robbie send it out on Module 4 on regular update see what you think. ?? Maybe we will do brainstorming again or just change it around do 5e structure. Hope Kasumi had come back from holiday hope she okay. :-)I just tidied it up a little. I also added this text above the first table  Lesson sequence Overview-     This lesson sequence has been developed for a grade ¾ composite class who are using their inquiry based learning to compare and contrast that of two other grade ¾ classes in another school via a wiki. The students from this class are developing their understanding of the gold rush through the experiences of a school based field trip in which they re-enact life during gold rush times. The other two classes will be experiencing field trips to Sovereign Hill, Victoria.   I have done another one ( link above) which I will use. Please please feel free to use the other one if you like. It really doesn't matter. I will state in my evaluation that our group had two and I chose this one because it was more appropriate to my planning.Imogen It needs a little tidy up and will add above topic that it is for a grade 3/4 class who will be comparing and contrasting theirlearning via a wiki with two other grade 3/4 classes who will actually visit SH. I have also loaded both of these on pebble pad- both mine and Kasumi'sImogen Good morning Imogen Thank you so much for set up 2003 doc for me. I really love your planned it much clearly and easy to follow 5e structure I was going to ask you to put in the pebble pad both of your and kasumi. Great it all done now we can start to our own evulation. We will still continue keep in touch If I think of something I have print the lesson sequence so will look carefully I trust you doing great job to put in all from the brainstorming thanks million for that ..

Hi Kasumi, Yes you are on the right track, great we could get start. I have put some ideas on brainstorming. What do you reckon Where do you live. Heather

Hi Kasumi & Imogen Just wondering any idea how to make format for planner for children's learning. There are so many different ways, I am not sure myself. Let you know I will be away next tuesday or Wednesday. Hope we can have chat before I go away. Heather

Heather

I am also going away from 21 st to 26th so I would like to do this before I go away too... In other unit that I am studying right now, got a great profrma. Maybe we can create something like that. Have a look what you think and let me know if it's good we can start creating our planning format and get done! Kasumi



Hi Kasumi, Funny, thing we going away on the same week. Yeah we can start to the proforma it sound brilliant it had input everything. Great would you mind do that to input from brainstorming I have add some more about assessment tasks. Wondering do you have children ? As I have two children trying to juggle with my studies and kids. Heather

Heather No, I don't have kids and working five days what a life!!!

Now, I put some ideas and you can add your ideas and you can change it if you want. Please have a look.

===<span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Hi ,I am getting very confused. This unit plan is all about immigration not the gold rush per sa. This seems a little over grade 3/4's heads. More suited to secondry. What about the lives and struggles of gold miners, including the chinese of course leading to the Eureka stockade?Imogen ===

Kasumi

Hi Kasumi,

Wowow it looks fantastic it all covered "Gold Rush". Just like to let you know that I just recently look up Week 9 just browsing. There is template about planning artefacts seems puzzled to me not sure if we on the right track. Seems to me it different what we do. Maybe I being parnoid otherwise the proforma what you did was great brilliant. Could you go have a look on Learning space, Module 3, Regular Update, scroll down to Week 9 assessment 3 exampler. see what you think Wish us luck Heather

Hi, Heather I have looked at week 9 thingy.... I cannot find any template.... Maybe I might send email our work to the tutor and ask her what she thinks.... What do you think? Or should I send it to Robbie?

Kasumi

Sure send to our tutor and lecture both to see what they say. I will send you email and attach about week 9 what is your home email will be easier for me to send to you before you send to tutor or lecture. By the way I think we have another person to join group 7 I saw on open discussion space on 15th September it very confusing about group 7 I think we need another person to support what do you think. I am concern where is Imogen?? hope she okay

Heather

Another person? This is very confusing... I will ask our lecture and tutor what is happening. My email is;

kasumim0@postoffice.utas.edu.au

Talk to you soon everyone! Kasumi <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Hi Guys! for some reason this page had totally been hidden from me, everytime I checked it, it was just the same as original page...weird. I was actually wondering what was going on with you guys hahahahaha........You guys have done heaps! May as well forget my recent post in the discussion section :-) So i am guessing this is for the artefacts section in the appendix? I will have a look for some others to add to the appendix :-) Imogen <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Sovereign Hill Lesson Plan <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Interpreting History sample lesson <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Photo of miners panning for gold <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Photo of Chinese miners huts <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">[|Map of soverein hill] <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Schools' Map <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Accommodation Info <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__Poem__ <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The night too quickly passes And we are growing old, So let us fill our glasses And toast the Days of Gold; When finds of wondrous treasure Set all the South ablaze, And you and I were faithful mates All through the roaring days.

<span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We might need to add to the planning that the 'field trip' is actually a camp, not an excursion. As I said in our earlier discussions, If I were going to take my class to sovereign hill it is 12 hour round trip. So for my students this would mean a camp, not a day trip. This then effects prices, bookings etc.Imogen

<span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I havent heard from either of you two, oh well i will just continue on my merry way ........Imogen <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Hi Guys, <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I am back from our lovely holiday yesterday. I am catching up all my email, few things on computer. Imogen you have been fantastic alot of ideas. all are great. I agree with you is actually a camp not an excursion. I am sure our lesson plan what Kasumi have done and Imogen add more for appendix it had covered mostly of things. What do you all reckon?? <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I was thinking this week we could start to do brainstorming of written evaluation of this fieldwork planning. I want you guys to clarify with me on Task description said An __indivdual written evaluation__ meaning 1200 words each person or in group 1200 words ?? <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">So we can do patch up by next week, I just realised it only about 15 more days to go eeeek. I did not want to pressure on you both, I am just encourage and support as a group. <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Hope to hear from you soon. <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Heather <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Hi Heather, no there is no assessment to the group part of this. our evaluation is entirely our own. We just use these plans as a springboard type of thing. We submit these things ( to be included in our individual appendices) but do our evaluation of this planning for our field trips entirely on our own. I spoke to Robbie and a camp doesn't suit, so I will either do my excursion in a different place, or pretend I am a lot closer to sovereign Hill! I kinda wish I had thought of doing something about our river but anyway- not a huge one! We have enough for our appendices so we don't really need that much collaboration anymore. Yeah I was wondering where you guys went. I was thinking hmmmm....but it's not uni holidays...??? oh well .....Imogen <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Eureka Flag
