Creative Teaching
Lesson Content:
- I can place current trends and practice in a wider context:
Topic: “Environment”
How does pollution affect humans? We are already seeing its effects in the form of global warming, contaminated seafood, increased cases of lung diseases and more.
Who Is Most at Risk?
How Do Humans Affect the Environment?
- I can use metaphor and analogy to make connections.
Describing weather with metaphors.
The wind blows like an angry horse.
The rain falls like little hammers on the roof.
The thunder roars like a dragon and the lightning cracks.
I feel very small and scared.
Teaching Styles:
- I can switch between styles and varying pace:
Topic : “School”
1. Look at the school things on the desk.
2. Listen to their names. Do your best to remember the names.
3. Write down as many as you can. Please do not talk until everyone is finished.
4. Then one pupil come up to the desk where school items are. His task is to touch the item which is mentioned by another pupil.
5. Write down the missing words.
- I have confidence and ability to inspire:
Well done. It's a good idea.
- I can make students feel valued:
The teacher gives regular clear feedback: ‘I can hear some really interesting parts of your story.’
Right you are.
The Learning Experience:
- I can engage students on an affective and emotional level:
A: Why did the teacher wear sunglasses?
B: Because his class was so bright!
Teacher: What is the shortest month?
Student: May, it only has three letters.
- Why did closing her eyes remind the teacher of her classroom?
-Because there were no pupils to see.
- I can challenge students to engage and reflect:
The pupils are challenged to engage and reflect on their experience, to take part and then to reassess their ideas and attitudes.
