Roll n Draw

Ms Higgins enjoys creating activities which encourage students to work and communicate well together. This group activity, Roll'n Draw was a result of watching how a student went about starting an oral language activity about drawing as a group. He began with a simple curve and Ms H thought "how effective". The idea is to have a number of simple shapes on a dice. These are starting shapes. Each group has a different leader each time and they start the drawing using this shape. Group members take turns or draw all at once. They decide together what the drawing is about. After only 10 minutes the groups share and comment on how they helped each other and shared ideas to get the drawing they have. Come back to check out the results in a future post. Meanwhile here are photos showing the fantastic sharing going on with the group members.
