Transcript: Metal Halide Lights are comparatively less efficient than other lights The use of coal energy is harmful to Rose both economically and environmentally Efficacy is the power to produce lighting seen by the human eye per input power (measured as Lumens per Watt). HPS lights produce poor color rendering "yellow light," creating a difficult environment for sports. Solar Power provides a feasible option for an alternative energy source. Coal produces nearly twice the amount of CO2 emissions as the 2nd highest fuel (natural gas) [3]. HPS lights are easy to install, require little to no maintenance, and are a cheaper alternative. Rose-Hulman spends nearly $14,000 per year on lighting the IM fields [2]. A comparision of tree colors reveals that LEDs provide much better color rendition High Pressure Sodium lights are a low cost alternative to Metal Halide Lights Alternative Lighting Solutions for IM Field Lights Recrational field lighting plays a major role in energy cost and consumption. Light Comparison [6] HPS lights are efficient but impractical for use in sports due to poor color rendition. High Pressure Sodium lights produce a dull, yellow light that makes colors nearly indistinguishable. Metal Halide lights have a shorter life, produce more CO2 emissions and have a worse efficacy. LEDs provide lighting that suits sports needs, while HPS lights do not. LEDs consume 75% less energy, produce more lumens per watt, and run at a lower cost than Metal Halide lights [6]. Electricity accounts for over 66% of emissions annually produced by Rose-Hulman [2]. LEDs produce an intense, white light that meets sports lighting requirements in color distinction and brightness. Large-scale LED lighting at night provides excellent color rendition and visibility. Over one ton of CO2 emissions a year is created by the burning of coal to create power for just the IM lights [4]. Nearly 82 tons of coal are required to light the intramural fields alone each year. LEDs provide excellent color rendition with a low running cost

Transcript: FOUR ROLES OF THE READER: When developing our literacy program we have considered Freebody & Lukes’ four roles of a reader and integrated them into our program. Children develop their skills as a code breaker in modelled, shared, guided and independent reading as they make connections between letters and sounds and develop their phonemic awareness and letter knowledge (Hill 2009, p. 173). Through discussions about the visual aspects of texts as well as content, children will become meaning makers and make connections between texts and their own experiences. Children will become text users as a variety of visual and written texts will be explored, including film; giving children the opportunity to determine how to engage with different texts (Hill 2009, p. 175). Finally, children will be supported in becoming a text critic as they are supported in responding to texts and engaged in discussions about intentions of texts (Hill 2009, p. 175). Children from different linguistic backgrounds are supported in developing the four roles of a reader in order to code switch but are also encouraged to develop skills using their own linguistic background to make learning meaningful.

CLASSROOM DISCOURSE: As we have a very multicultural class with diverse backgrounds, we must consider what happens when students do and don’t fit in – the classroom discourse. Discourses are ways of ‘behaving, interacting, valuing, thinking, believing [and] speaking’ that are recognised as representations by specific groups (Gee 2011). Thus, we need to make sure that our students fit into our classroom discourse, in order to be able to feel safe and secure and work at their highest standard. As teachers, we need to be aware that our discourse may be a very different compared to the discourse of our students. When teaching our students, we need to remember that our students backgrounds, beliefs and experiences are not our problems to fix, but are strengths to build on (Freire & Macedo 1987; Lake 1990). CLASS CONTEXT: Our school is in a low socio-economic area of Adelaide in which many families have migrated from another country. We have twenty four students in our year one class, and sixteen students are from multicultural backgrounds. Eleven students are from refugee families. Many of the students in our classroom have language backgrounds other than English, and many are still in the process of learning English linguistic skills. BOOK CHOICE: Our anchor text, ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen, was selected to explore the concept of “journeys”, both local and on a bigger scale. Our classroom is rich with culture and most of our students were born overseas and have travelled to Australia to live. ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ was a good starting point to further explore the concept of journey, travel, and the similarities between classmates, however diverse circumstances they have originated from. BOYS AND LITERACY: As a classroom teacher it is imperative to find out which boys are truly in need, what the roots of their problems are and to develop non stereo-typical ways to help them. Due to the number of immigrant children in our inclusive classroom, the topic of “journeys” could potentially be something that a lot of these boys could relate to. Boys like to read books that reflect their image of themselves, and many of the books chosen in our program show people or animals going on specific journeys. Immigrant boys along with the other classroom children could relate to many aspects of this topic area, as we all have our own journeys to share. It's what the teacher actually does in the classroom that makes the difference for boys. PURPOSE: The purpose of our English program is to continue students’ development of language, literature and literacy. The topic of journeys has been chosen to draw on the journeys children may have taken in their lives. It was very important to consider the migrant students in our classroom and their life experiences. The lessons planned and texts we chose to produce are mainly visual with the option of writing, to ensure children of all skill levels are included. We have based our teaching sequences on the Australian Curriculum. RATIONALE
