Jason: Map expert!

Student	Jason	Date	16 August 2008
Topic	Class discussion about countries competing in the Olympics	Observer	Angela (teacher)

Intended learning

Discuss whether a statement is true or false based on evidence.

Some time after looking at world maps and identifying the countries Jason knew, the class was given the statement: “New Zealand won the most gold medals at the Olympics” and asked whether it was true or false. They had a medal tally chart to refer to.

After looking at the information the class said that this was false and that China was the winner of the most gold medals.

As soon as China was mentioned, Jason called out “I know where that is!” Someone else mentioned the United States as a top medal winning country and Jason said “I know where that is too!” These were two of the many countries that Jason had looked at with his teacher earlier.

He had remembered the information and connected it to the discussion in class. Jason was very excited to share his new skills.
