Year 8 Workshop with Cora Zon

 

After Cora had told the story of The Orange Tree students chose leaves, worked in small groups and considered what magic powers these leaves would have. The inbuilt desire to have a money tree dominated but there were lots of other fascinating suggestions as well.

 

During the session they created digital images of the tree and wrote short creative writing pieces about the magical powers of their leaves.

They wrote their stories on leaves

and used Microsoft Word. They turned their images into JPG’s and emailed their documents and images ready to be uploaded on to the Healesville Weblog.

In another session they will learn how to publish themselves. During this session it was stimulating to witness problem solving and dogged determination to cross the line and publish.
