Active Learning Strategies

KWL

          KWL charts assist me in activating students' reading and thinking. I tried out KWL in my classes, it helps me as a pre reading strategy and also serves as an assessment of what my students have learned via lessons. The following are the sample copies of KWL.

 

Reflection on Energizers

Reflection on 20 questions game

Another reading strategy is to answer the questions
that form the basis of good journalism.

Who What When Where Why and How

• Who are the main characters?
• What does the author say happened?
• Where did the action occur?
• When did it happen or what is the span of time?
• Why did this happen?
• How did it happen?

This strategy helped me to know whether my students have met the objectives of the lesson. For those who didn’t meet the objectives I redesigned the lesson plan and proceeded my class again in a different methodology.

One minute paper test 

           I used to ask oral questions related to the concept and assess children’s learning. I was not able to evaluate how many were clear with the concept. I started to use the Clearest and muddiest point of each and every concept which help me to analyze the learning of children and clear their muddiest point then and there.
