Te Reo Sample





WALT: communicate a message.



Description: We have been participating in 3 different workshops around colour, compositions and fonts.  We put these skills to use in a poster sharing our knowledge about Te Reo Maori.
Why? We have noticed that our posters are too cluttered and do not communicate a  message well.

Task: Make a poster about Te Reo Maori.

Criteria:
Message: My message is clear and purposeful.  Everything that is on my poster relates to my message.

Composition:  My poster is balanced.

Font:  My font is clear, readable and suits the message.

Colour:  I have used 2-3 colours that are complementary.  My background choice makes the text pop!

Accuracy:  All of the words on my poster are spelt correctly.

Evaluation:
  1. What are you most proud of and why?

    I am proud of our complementary colours that we chose white black and red what also suits is that they are māori colours.

  1. What challenged you the most and why?

    I think that I could have worked on keeping our poster balanced. We didn't have the words balanced the greetings were on one side and then one on the wrong side.

  1. Next time, what is a goal you can work towards?

    Making it balanced and also polishing the layout so it looks way better.

Feedback/Feedforward:

I think the poster is really cool. The thing we need to work on is the layout. I think every maori word is scattered across the page randomly. Aye :-)
