 * Intentions -** This assisted in working towards our class goal of 'developing independent learners'.
 * Classroom practice -** Encouraging students to gain information from sources other than the written word by accessing videoed interviews of sports people to find information to support their exposition based on whether or not New Zealanders live up to the true spirit of sportsmanship. The "Faster, Higher, Stronger" produced by Birkley Intermediate programme was a useful resource. ||  ||

 * Using 'Track Changes', part of Microsoft Office, helps students recognise changes and/or corrections when working in Word. Helpful for discussion of changes between student and student, as well as student and teacher ||  ||
