Learning Space 2 Seniors
Exploring Explanation Reports!
The Seniors in Learning Space 2 have been busy diving into the fascinating world of Explanation Reports.
We've explored intriguing topics such as:
"How Do Solar Panels Work?",
"How Does The Water Cycle Work?",
"How Does a Battery Work?", and
"How Are Tsunamis Formed?".
Our focus has been on composing well-structured explanation texts supported by three pieces of evidence. Students have embraced the challenge of using technical words effectively, planning the layout of their infographics in different ways, and organising their infographics from top to bottom depending on the purpose.
They have also honed their skills in evaluating the best layout based on the direction of text and images, as well as font and color choices.
The process has been both educational and enjoyable, with students enthusiastically creating infographics that beautifully match their explanation topics.
