slowly, and at gradually increased speed
Project-Based Learning, Enquiry Project-Activities, Group Discussions, Think-Pair Square Activities Group Activities:
- The teacher prepares learners in groups. Each group picks a text from the following modern Arabic prose:
.
- مصطفى لطفي المنفلوطي وقصته اليتيم والحجاب
- زكريا حسين وقصص خط الاستواء
- كمال الدين بالغون وقصة رحلة البحث عن الإنسان.
- The group reads a paragraph of a poem and calls any group of its choice to read the following paragraph. The invited group can pick any of its members to read. The group then also pick any group to read the following paragraph, like that until the entire story is read
- A member from any group has only one reading slot until every member in the group has taken his/her turn. After each round this exercise is repeated with gradual increase of reading speed.
Coping with stress and anxiety: Learners are engaged in recitation of lines of poetry which fully engages their minds and imaginations. Poetry recitation possesses meditative qualities in which the brain is fully focused, thereby reduces stress and enhance relaxation.
Collaborative learning:
- Forming mixed-ability groups of learners gives high cognitive abilities a platform to tell their observations, while it gives low cognitive abilities a way of collaborating with and learning from their peers.
- Allocating different listening times and opportunity to each member of the group to make an input can help learners organise themselves according to their different skills and capabilities.
