NZC Achievement Objective:  Students will acquire and begin to use sources of information, processes, and strategies to identify, form, and express ideas.  Indicator:  has an awareness of the connections between oral, written, and visual language.

Learning Observed

During iDevelop Matthew has been learning that oral, written and visual texts can connect together.  Matthew has done this over the course of a week by reading the pictures, reading the words and listening to the story being read.  The story chosen was Greedy Cat, by Joy Cowley. Firstly Matthew helped his hapu group to predict and tell the story using only the pictures in the book.  Matthew was able to predict and draw some appropriate conclusions. Next he listened to the story being read to him and was showing his understanding by following along. After this Matthew was able to read the story aloud, showing his understanding of what he had read. Matthew showed his understanding of connecting the text orally, visually and in writing through his follow up activity where he drew a picture of Greedy Cat, wrote a sentence of what he thought Greedy Cat would eat out of his shopping bag and then shared his version of the story with others.
