#NZraAnnual2 - Learners connecting and transferring ideas from 1 shared text. 

In Rongokako this week we had a '100 Word Writing Challenge' based on the following question - What would you rather be beautiful or intelligent?  One of our learners Ethan decided to use a range of algorithms to help him share his thoughts - his inspiration .... last week's #NZra text 'Conversation Games' by Sophie Rea.

I would rather be intelligent. "Why?" you ask.  Here is my algorithm Intelligent + good + job = cash flow. Having cash flow would mean botox and plastic surgery. Good looking + wealth = good wife and good wife = happiness. Happiness = more time, more time = ideas and ideas = money and if I still have more time that means even more money and more money = first trillionaire and, first tillionaire = fame. Fame = more people buying my products which means = even more money and, more money = first quadrillionaire and first quadrillionaire = history. And...guess what history = GOOD LIFE.

    I love that Sophie Rea's algorithm for great conversations has sparked this piece of writing. It is very clever Ethan. I might have a go at doing one myself - maybe we put the challenge out to others reading the blog too!

Poetry from Outram School

  Here are a couple of my students' version of the poem "Wealth". Tracey Hunter Outram School Wealth by Mya Wealth can be counted, but in time not in dollars or things. Days since you ate a warm roast, hours since you last played basketball with your brothers or swimming in the cold Bannockburn lake, how recently you've been running down the court playing netball. camping how many weeks before you get to see cousins how long until you get to spend Christmas with your family again. Wealth by Will Wealth can be counted, but in time not in dollars or things. Days since you made a batch of steaming raspberry muffins hours since you lay on the sun absorbing the sun streaming in or sitting round the table feasting on a lamb roast with your family how recently you've finished a lego creation How many weeks before you get to play a game of Friday night hockey in the winter cold How long until you next lie on the grass staring up at the clouds.
