I have chosen this project called Dead Poets society by blackblackbirds. I chose it because I believe it contains a clean layout of information yet has that feeling and appearance that a child did this. I love the way the information moves your eyes down the page in a natural and relaxing way and also the colour palette is very soft and consistent all the way through. I would use this a mentor text when showing students how to bring together all the information from a topic they love and present it in a way that will not overwhelm the reader.

The first resource is a book called “language improvement for English Teachers”. The book was designed to be suitable for teachers at various levels of language proficiency. This book helps teacher’s to improve their knowledge and proficiency when using the English language. The second resource is a coding site called Tynker, this site allows teachers to deliver a coding based program to students where the focus is developing students and teachers knowledge of digital literacy. 

In Broome where this book store is located, the majority of the books on offer are of Indigenous theme.

These two posters were seen in a class that I work in, it is particularly useful when the teacher is doing any writing sessions or wishes for students to correct their own work. I especially like how each one can be used individually or with each other. I believe these two posters are useful in the class as it breaks down the structure of a sentence and a paragraph in a visually friendly way that student can actually relate to. I personally love food and if something can be explained to me using food I’ll definitely remember it better. When I spoke to the teacher who had displayed this, he said that they are appropriate from years 3 up to 8. I can agree with that as last year I was working at a high school with year 7 & 8 students and these 2  posters were used quite frequently and also to the benefit of the students. 

This is a perfect example of a teacher using my funds of knowledge to teach and engage me.
