Today I met Sonia ma’am from a progressive school in Delhi.
She does English language with children from KG till standard 5. She has an
interesting way of teaching. Actually she involves children in the activities
like story telling, expressing different emotions, motivating them for writing their
feeling after an activity. The active School teacher- Language teacher,
making children learn English through senses. Like she gets chips, then asks
them to write how it tasted, how it felt- sour, so what is sour, show it
emotionally, what other words are possible for sour.
Story making… say with flexible wires… she started making
roads and converted into railway tracks and then asked somebody to make
spectacles and so on, the story unfolds….
Similarly she asks children to create graphic novel…
This way through, lot of theatres, tastes, senses,
emotions etc. she does language with the children. What a fantastic way!
Grumpy- show me grumpy… in another way, what other emotion
can be put for grumpy. She also does story telling and even after doing a story
for 50 times, she again re-reads it, before doing, and tries to do it in a new
way, so there is continuous learning happening, with each new time reading with
the group.
