Project-Based Learning, Inquiry-Based, Think-Pair Share Activities:
- The teacher introduces poetry composition and takes learners through the processes of putting together a few lines of poetry through strong listeners' minds' eyes with imagery and concrete words that appeal to the senses.
- Each group is then required to prepare a draft of their poem and make a group recitation in class, reading from a script, with rhyming sound but little attention to the poetic meter.
De-stressing Recitation: Speaking out and telling your story help to alleviate stress. Learners may use it to talk out their worries, and to vent out pent up feelings and emotions for their mental health and a solution to stress.
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.
Learning from experiences of others: Stories help learners to explore significant differences of human ideas, beliefs, just as they help them to discover ordinary human ways of understanding life, and how they manage their deficiencies and overcome their challenges.
