Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

الخط االاستواء .
Project-Based Learning, Inquiry-Based, Think-Pair Share Activities, Storytelling Contest: Learners are put in groups and each group is encouraged to summarise a selected story from a prescribed story book on their own words, using the following format:
- An introductory sentence - Opening scene.
- Learners' own words.
- The main ideas of the story.
De-stressing Stories: 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 de-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.
