What is an Authentic Learning Journey?


Room 15’s Presenters Tonight
are Courtney & Leah.

They will take you through our
Authentic Learning Journey of 2011.


Fertile Question

Is this a world full of problems
or problem solvers?


Term 1

Disasters:
Exploration of a range of
problems including natural
disasters [Christchurch
earthquake] and solutions
[working with @Heart].

Term 2
Our focus: Exploring global poverty via
Fair Trade


• Countries in the wealthy ‘North’ include
NZ, Australia, North America and Europe.
• Countries in the poorer ‘South’ include
South America, Africa, India and China.


The “Cookie Game”
• This is an activity we
played in class with
chocolate biscuits.
Today we will use
coins.
• This game highlights
how unfairly the
World’s wealth is
shared.


50% of this wealth stays with 20% of the people
50% of this wealth is shared amongst 80% of the people

‘North’ 6 pupils
25 cookies
•21% of the world’s population 12.5 cookies for 1 pupil
12.5 cookies for 5 pupils
•84% of the world’s wealth
30 cookies – 30 pupils

‘South’ 24 pupils
5 cookies
•79% of the world’s population 4 cookies for 4 pupils
1 cookies for 20 pupils
•16% of the world’s wealth
80% of this wealth stays with 20% of the people
20% of this wealth is shared amongst 80% of the people


How would you feel if you had
to share one cookie?

What would you do if you had
12 and a half cookies all to
yourself?


Term Three
Types of problems we face
• Bullying [cyber, school, etc]
• Trying to fit in
• Relationships
• Anti social behaviour
• Low self-esteem
• Lack of confidence or self
belief


Our solution

Create a student code of ethics
[designed by students for students] that
will encourage the right types of
behaviour and actions in Somerville
students. This code of ethics will have
a huge impact in our school and will go
along way to solve the day to day
problems some of us face.

Why ethics

Ethics are woven into everything we do.
In any given moment we are either
acting ethically or unethically. Ethics
are like virtues/morals in that they
define how we live our lives and can
powerfully impact the lives of those
around us.


What are ethics?
Ethics are related to human action.
They define what is right and wrong.
Ethics seek to define good behaviour
and what should be valued.


The difference between laws
and ethics
Laws are written, approved and enforced by
the government. They are clear and usually
logical.

Ethics are like rules of conduct. They are
actions closely related to morals and virtues
that society believes it should have. Break an
ethic and you will likely face disapproval from
your peers, family and/or the community.


Cyber Safety
Part of our solution to
some of the dangers
we face in an
increasingly cyber
world was to create a
series of educational
videos aimed at
keeping ourselves safe
online.


We will now separate
into our classes and
return in the hall in
30 mins.


Room 9 = Room 9
Room 10 = Staffroom
Room 15 = PAC
Room 16 = Stay in hall


Term 4


In Reﬂection:
Our fertile Question.


Now to end the night
we will sing a song put
together by Reuben.


It expresses how we feel
about our time at
Somerville and moving
on to College.

NEW LYRICS WRITTEN BY REUBEN SCOTT


SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
NEW LYRICS WRITTEN BY REUBEN SCOTT


We have all learnt to read and write,
And we choose the road which is not
wrong, but right,
Its a good lesson learned at Somerville


We’ve been the best that we can be
and if you ask my teacher, my friends or
me
we’ve grown up and we’re sad to leave


Education’s what I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
It doesn’t come with a price
Gives us dreams and a brand new hope


Had fun times and made great friends
now our Somerville adventure has to
end.
so we’ve learned to persevere


I stand up for what I believe
Even if it’s not such an easy thing
But now it’s time to just move on


Satisfaction guaranteed


Cause I’m thinking ‘bout the choice of
roads
Which way should I go
Now I know it’s time to go to college


instrumental


Satisfaction guaranteed to you


It doesn’t come with a price
But it gives us dreams and hope
cause I’m thinking ‘bout the choice of
roads
Which way should I go, and I know


I should choose the right road that I
know
It’s right for me and you, and I know


And I’m thinking ‘bout the choice of
roads
Which way should I go
Now I know I have to go to College
