SMARTS

The SMARTies, Room 11, Winton School. Year 8. Teacher: Julie Mynes.

At the start of the year we studied Multiple Intelligences to find out what type of learners we are. We realised that we were a variety of intelligences, but quite strong in one or two areas, such as Logical 'mathematical' or musical etc. It was really interesting as we found out that we are all different and that different has positive qualities such as when working together in a group, we can all contribute a variety of skills that together make us stronger. Differences should be celebrated.

We created our short movie using iMovies and voice overs which we had never explored before. Taking photographs was quite difficult too as sometimes the weather conditions were not suitable. We discovered that having a background that would be editable, i.e. for green screening, would have made a better project as we could have change the background to suit our SMARTs. This would be our next step thinking and learning.
