She began with a game to get the kids up and moving and in the reight head space. It was a Fly swat game where the children in small teams had to run out and hit the piece of paper with the Maori vowel sounds that she was saying. It was a race to see who could hit the card first.
Input
Next she asked the class to sit into a circle for the colours lesson.
Explained the phrase:
Whakarongo mai - listen
Korero mai - talk/repeat
Use pictures to orally give new words
only do 3-4 at a time and then she added in new colours
Use the sandwich method Maori - Repeat - English - Maori- Repeat
Lorelei took the time to explain the connection for the Maori word for pink - which is the Maori word for red and pink together
Recognition
Whakaatu mai (point)
Hand out the cards - visualization and remembrance comes in here
Hand out cards saying anei 'anay' and children reply keroa - (thank you)
Explained the three commands and then went around the circle and students pointed to the student who had the colour
Give back - anei and Kia ora
Discrimination (choice making)
Lorelei then went onto the choose part of lesson. She explained the term Whiriwhiria (choose)
Show/give two options
kids choose Ae (yes) (i) thumbs up or Kaore (no) (kauri) thumbs down
i with thumbs up
kauri with thumbs down
Production
Because of time constraints - Lorelei didn't get to this part, however in my lessons this is what should of happened next:
introduce the written words
spread out the pictures and ask children to place the correct word on the picture
Ask questions
is it right?
which one is the odd one out?
how are they the same?
Then Lorelei asked the students to tell her the word while she held up the picture
Talking turtle - ping ponging - she through out the turtle and asked students to tell her the name of the colour she was holding. Explained to the class to count to 5 in your head and if they need help you can whisper it.
To finish, the students now send the talking turtle around the circle and asked the question 'He aha tetai' and the student who catches the talking turtle responds with the colour in Maori.
Peke game
1 person in the middle they ask He aha tetai
Children in a circle with eyes closed. One student is in the middle. While all students eyes are closed, the teacher goes around the circle and secretly tap someone in the circle. This is the person who will say peke if the middle student asks them the phrase 'he aha tetai'. Student in middle goes around the circle asking the question to find the peke person. If students are not the peke person they respond with a colour. When the person in the center finds the peke person the whole group scrambles, trying to not be last in the middle.
In reflection:
I don't think I or the class could physically cope with doing the whole IRDPX structured lesson in one 30 minute lesson, it would be too much too soon, but is definitely something that we could work up too. The kids caught on really quick - and the games and competition aspect was really great for the kids. I liked that Lorelei and in turn myself encouraged the other children to support classmates when they forgot a word, or said a word incorrectly. It fostered the idea that it is not just about one person succeeding, it's about us all succeeding when we are learning Te Reo.
