Our New Epals - Wonderings Using Prezi

PREZI - Click on the link and add your thoughts. I will take you through this in class. It's another tool to show our thinking and learning. While you are adding to this, think about the ways you could use this tool in your learning. (Always link the tool to your learning). :-)

TASK - How many questions can you come up with about your new epals? What do you want to know / learn about them?

    Hi Ben. Thanks for the comment. Remember, wonderings are questions that you have about your epals, rather than statements. What questions do you have about them and where they live? What do you want to know?

    Great questions Kees. I was wondering about the size of Green Bay too - I wonder how it compares to NZ?

    Great questions Sophie. I wonder about their sports too. Holidays are always interesting to compare as well.

    Hi Mrs Hughes
    Andrew here. I'm so excited about the epals. My epals name sounds cool and I bet he is cool too. I wonder what his favourite sport is. Well, I better not put all my wonderings about my epal on as they will probably go on forever.

    Hi Travis here, I just can't wait till we can talk to them, I wonder what his favorite sports or hobbies are. Or if they have big school meals like when you pick a milkey drink and get given plain meals like chips or pizza.

    I wonder if they have horse and ponies to ride, and go to horse shows with them. I wonder what their native animals are and their special stuff is, like L and P, and hokey pokey icecream is to us.
