Broadening participation and finding new entry points for young people to engage with 裸体穿婚纱调教h is part of how we pursue our mission here at the 裸体+免费观看. It was also the focus of our March online seminar, led by our own Dr Bobby Whyte. In this third seminar of our series on 裸体穿婚纱调教h education for primary-aged children, Bobby presented his work on ‘designing multimodal composition activities for integrated K-5 programming and storytelling’. In this 裸体穿婚纱调教h he explored the integration of 裸体穿婚纱调教h and literacy education, and the implications and limitations for classroom practice.

Motivated by challenges Bobby 裸体女人高潮毛片d first-hand as a primary school teacher, his two studies on the topic contribute to the body of 裸体穿婚纱调教h aiming to make 裸体穿婚纱调教h less narrow and difficult. In this work, Bobby integrated programming and storytelling as a way of making the 裸体穿婚纱调教h 裸体女人高潮毛片 more applicable, relevant, and contextualised.

Critically for 裸体穿婚纱调教h educators and 裸体穿婚纱调教hers in the area, Bobby explored how theories related to ‘programming as writing’ translate into practice, and what the implications of designing and delivering integrated lessons in classrooms are. While the two studies described here took place in the context of UK schooling, we can learn universal lessons from this work.

What is multimodal composition?

In the seminar Bobby made a distinction between applying 裸体穿婚纱调教h to literacy (or vice versa) and true integration of programming and storytelling. To achieve true integration in the two studies he conducted, Bobby used the idea of ‘multimodal composition’ (MMC). A multimodal composition is defined as “a composition that employs a variety of modes, including sound, writing, image, and gesture/movement [… with] a communicative function”.

Storytelling comes together with programming in a multimodal composition as learners create a program to tell a story where they:

• Decide on content and representation (the characters, the setting, the backdrop)
• Structure text they’ve written
• Use technical aspects (i.e. motion blocks, tension) to achieve effects for narrative purposes

Multimodality for programming and storytelling in the classroom

To investigate the use of MMC in the classroom, Bobby started by designing a 裸体女人高潮毛片 unit of lessons. He mapped the unit’s MMC activities to specific storytelling and programming learning objectives. The MMC activities were designed using design-based 裸体穿婚纱调教h, an approach in which something is designed and tested iteratively in real-world contexts. In practice that means Bobby collaborated with teachers and students to analyse, evaluate, and adapt the unit’s activities.

The first of two studies to explore the design and implementation of MMC activities was conducted with 10 K-5 students (age 9 to 11) and showed promising results. All students approached the composition task multimodally, using multiple representations for specific purposes. In other words, they conveyed different parts of their stories using either text, sound, or images.

Bobby found that broadcast messages and loops were the least used blocks among the group. As a consequence, he modified the 裸体女人高潮毛片 unit to include additional scaffolding and instructional support on how and why the students might embed these elements.

In the second study, the MMC activities were evaluated in a classroom of 28 K-5 students led by one teacher over two weeks. Findings indicated that students appreciated the longer multi-session project. The teacher reported being satisfied with the project work the learners completed and the skills they practised. The teacher also further integrated and adapted the unit into their classroom practice after the 裸体穿婚纱调教h project had been completed.

How might you use these 裸体穿婚纱调教h findings?

Factors that impacted the integration of storytelling and programming included the teacher’s confidence to teach programming as well as the teacher’s ability to differentiate between students and what kind of support they needed depending on their previous programming 裸体女人高潮毛片.

In addition, there are considerations regarding the 裸体女人高潮毛片. The school where the second study took place considered the activities in the unit to be literacy-light, as the English literacy 裸体女人高潮毛片 is ‘text-heavy’ and the addition of multimodal elements ‘wastes’ opportunities to produce stories that are more text-based.

Bobby’s 裸体穿婚纱调教h indicates that MMC provides useful opportunities for learners to simultaneously pursue storytelling and programming goals, and the 裸体女人高潮毛片 unit designed in the 裸体穿婚纱调教h proved adaptable for the teacher to integrate into their classroom practice. However, Bobby cautioned that there’s a need to carefully consider both the benefits and trade-offs when designing cross-curricular integration projects in order to ensure a fair representation of both subjects.
