Session 4 Rosalie Primary Year 5/6 - Lynleigh Glass & Elly Sumner
The Black Cockatoo Multiverse: Literature
Our main project for this term has been focused on learning the characteristics of the characters from the book "The Black Cockatoo". The students have then tweaked these characteristics (for better or worse) and are making 3D foam sculptures of their new designs. The questions we are focusing on are How do characteristics affect a storyline? What is the underlying message to the book? Can we stay true to this message with character shifts?
Warm Up
Coloured poska pens were handed out, the students had to swap colours to get ones that matched and then working as one big group they had to lay them out to make a cohesive colour wheel. |
Main Activity
This week we created "mini-mascots" of the new characters we had designed from the book. The students were given mascot foam to sculpt a 3D character. This was super challenging for the class but within their grasp. We will continue next week. |
Reflection with the students
Adding to our nature hanging reflections, using poska pens as well as thread this week. |
