Workshop 10

Create

Reflection.

From the session ''Creating and facilitating visually stimulating task'' I learned a lot of interesting graphic organizers which help language learners understand important ideas and their relationship to one another. Pupils can engage with each other about content-area topics. After the watching video ''Strategies for making learning, visually stimulating'' by Kelly Webb. I was interested in ''See -Think -Wonder'' and ''Word Wall''strategies. I tried to use ''word Wall''strategy with my pupils in the 5 grade. I divided my learners into three groups and asked them to create ''Word Wall'' according to the topics: Professions, Seasons and Weather. They did it with great pleasure. ''Word Wall''strategy helped me to improve the literacy skills of the students and engage active students' participation. This strategy develops students thinking ability and enriches their vocabulary. It was a wonderful tool to energize pupils and assess their knowledge and abilities. To sum up, I would like to say that one way to help students achieve fluency is through the use of word walls and word wall activities.
