In NIE, we were taught the different strategies to suit the different learning styles of our pupils. One of the most successful and effective strategies is the hands-on method whereby pupils get to do a fun-based hands-on activity which is in-line with the main objective of the lesson. So for this particular lesson, pupils were taught the strategy on completing an open-ended cloze passage. For this lesson, I chose a cloze passage on the topic Origami. But before we got into the proper lesson, the kids got to do an Origami activity in the AVA Room.
I led them step by step during the Origami activity using the visualiser
After doing the hands-on activity, pupils have gained some background knowledge on the activity Origami and based on that experiential knowledge, they somehow could apply that knowledge to solve the cloze passage pertaining to Origami.
Pupils worked in small groups to solve and complete the cloze passages.
