As a way to enhance and enrich my students knowledge about basic things we have in life, I had to make teaching different than the traditional way. instead of asking students to look at their books and see different kinds of food that our body needs as a basic for survival, I switched it to make teaching something reliable and relevant to students real life. however I asked students to bring each one of them one different kind of food related to fruits, vegetables ..
Then I classified each food group into a zone where students are seated around. 1st I closed their eyes and asked them to taste some food and guess what the food they ate tasted like ! they learned about different taste and different types of basic food as well.
It was an interesting and exciting strategy that I used to teach these youngsters in more irregular and special way.
My advice to new teachers is to try as much as they can more real life oriented tasks to make teaching more relevant and meaningful to students. Hope you liked it :)

Wonderful! I liked you strategy. It helps every teacher to ease their teaching process and the students will engage and interact more. Whenever we bring real life materials, the students won't forget what they've learned
ReplyDeleteThis is truly interesting. Whenever we use new and active techniques in teaching, we win our students attention without much effort. They also enjoy the lesson much more than usual! We should get off the book more often.
ReplyDeleteinteresting!!! it is important to insert concrete materials examples and samples throughout explanation to make the learning worth while and meaningful, especially for young aged students.
