Another Magenta moment today! Asked students to use only the materials on their desks to replicate what they could visualise after reading a chapter of our novel! After a few bewildering looks, they soon found their imaginations flying!! @MikeHughesETS@OldBawnCS
Magenta Principles @MikeHughesETS used today in English class!๐3rd years in @OldBawnCS assigned the task of changing information from one form to another. Take a verse from @SarahCrossan's Weight of Water and create a mood board that reflects the mood/content of that chapter!
Such a fantastic day today taking our first step into the world of Magenta Principles with @MikeHughesETS. Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and am really looking forward to the next two to come! ๐๐ Big thank you to the @NAPD_IE for hosting this exciting CPD!
