This is what really works in my kids/teens classes !
I really do a lot of games and quizzes and at the same time i make it possible for the kids to move in the class.Because we know that kids sometimes finds dificult to stay for 80 minutes in their chairs without moving.
They write words on the blackboard or they test their friends by putting the words in the gaps for instance or they make quizes themselves too.
Whereas teens like a lot project .They like to surf on the net and for that reason they find materials about different thing basing on the lesson of course .They don’t handle the material but they read it at home so we discuss about the new words and the information too.In that way they learn both of them at the same time.
We all know that kids find difficult sometimes so
Juleda,
It sounds like you are really connecting with your students. What types of projects do you do with the teenage groups? Which project has yielded the most success for students? Maybe, you could write your article on such a project
Yeah , I really do .
I use a lot of projects in my classes such as projects about different places in the World materials + pictures and posters included,projects about students hometowns, I have got a project at home about a project for Pogradeci and it is really interesting, projects about different singers and they careers,projects about fruits, about wild animals about the underseas animals etc.Of course all my projects are related to the lesson.But the one that appeared the most successful was the project about the Ancient and Modern Wonders.
It was a project done with the students of Cambridge 5 as a matter of fact we dont use that method anymore.
Students were divided in 2 groups .One group brought materials about Modern Wonders and the other group Brought materials about the Ancient Wonders.They were so exciting and for the pictures they had found we used a projector .It was really interesting.
They learned a lot of things and they were even choosing the place to go in the near future .
I think that using projects in class is important because it engages more the students’ attention.
