Task 3: a picture representing affective learning.


Task 3: a picture representing affective learning.
I took this picture from the balcony of my apartment. This is what I make my daughter see in the morning. The picture for me represents the purity of nature. And so 'should' be yl.
But more importantly if you take a closer look at the picture, you will find different flowers with different colours and shapers in the same place. They all keep their unique beauty. So are Yls. They are unique in their own. They have different personalities and different excellence. They also have different learning styles. The smart teacher should be able to tailor the lesson according to her learners ' needs and learning styles. She should appreciate their differences. This is affective teaching.

    What a lovely image and analogy, Maha! 

    It's so rich when we allow learners to express their views in creative ways. The outcomes are just fascinating as yours. 

    Being able to give attention and to recognize each individual with their characteristics and learning abilities is essential when we focus on students' learning. Every group is unique and we have to be very present to notice the cues they give us. It is in this closer look that you mentioned where the beauty of education is in opinion.

( I act like I'm looking for her..) Oh look! Tina is in her shell! Tina come out and play! ( sound of a negative answer) Help me kids! Repeat: Tina come out and play! ( sound of a negative answer again). Let's try again but louder! Tina, come out and play! Tina answers: No, no! It's cold outside! I say: Tina let's swim! ( I make the gesture) Tina answers: no, no! It' cold outside! I let children have ideas showing the objects inside the box! Let's play football! Children keep trying to convince her (Put on a coat! Put on a cap! Put on your socks!). A...

Week Four: Discussion Task #2 Finding the right audience and making writing meaningful Having earned some experience with the writing classes I am in a good position to recommend a proven strategy for the meaningful writing, which includes affective elements. The below step-by-step guide reflects one of the strategies I used successfully with elementary school students. I. Introducing Strategy 1. Introduction of a writing strategy (storytelling thru sequencing, describing, introducing people, 5 Ws or any other) that structures and unifies writing process as well as familiarize students to critical thinking. II. Reading Stage 2. Vocabulary and pre-reading activities with flash cards that help learners expanding the background and reinforce them how to use new words in the passage. To deal with grammar the language garden tasks were employed sometimes. 3. Exemplary passage with engaging reading topic that serves as a basis for the subsequent discussion topics. Introduced with fun, illust...
