Media Literacy / Guest speaker: Linda Bonder


We are learning "Media Literacy" on PYP Social Study class.

Central Idea : The media can positively and negatively influence our behavior


To reach our central idea, we have collected many advertisements and then we analyze the "Media Technique".


We learned lots of techniques from Linda.


Thank you, Linda.

It doesn't count "RAIN", Sense!


I need to discover some attractive activities inside the classroom...
Kids are really happy to be outside. That is really good.

Takoyaki Party

Takoyaki pan. It works with electricity.


Takoyaki mix


Takoyaki sauce


Dry seaweed topping


Eggs


Mixing Takoyaki mix, eggs, and water


Pour them in the Takoyaki-pan


Keep flipping the Takoyaki balls


This part is the most interesting part for kids. It does not go well.


Kyle put a really hot Takoyaki ball into his mouth. I can tell he is so happy about it.


Takoyaki balls look great! and taste wonderful.



I have never seen my friends and kids' friends who don't like Takoyaki.
It is a good party activity.
