On Friday, we did a few exercises to learn on the terms used in poetry. We had to list down words into two categories, TERMS I 100% UNDERSTAND and TERMS I DON'T 100% UNDERSTAND. I was quite surprised I did not understand most of the terms, as I came from a government school. Then Miss Abena divided us into pairs and teach each other meanings that we did not understand. If there was a word we could not understand we would highlight it. Afterwards, we would write them on some paper and stick them on the board. Afterwards Miss Abena told us to get three cards an look for them on the internet.
Afterwards, we played a little game where we would tell each other the meaning of the words and quiz each other on them. Then we would trade cards and the cycle starts again. This was a great activity to stimulate our minds to learn on the terms of poetry, much better than the mundane way of the teacher teaching us on the board and asking us to memorize them by heart.This method was much better in the fact, it made the learning process easier and more enjoyable. I didn't feel any part of the lesson was bad, and it was a really great time.
I guess in my opinion, to reinforce the terms we have leaned, some practice exercises would be a great to to reinforce the terms that I have just learned.

How was that, Miss Abena? This is my first time doing this, so forgive me if the format is wrong
ReplyDeleteGood work WK! The only thing I'd ask you to think about is what you will do to reinforce the learning. You talk about some follow-up exercises but can you be more specific? For example, are you going to start a vocabulary list in the back of your workbook / on your phone or have you found some websites that will help you. A really good start and one to be proud of :)
