Playful Stepping Stones – Interactive Learning Methodology

Good Student? Bad Student?

Welcome online!

This is the platform where we’ll work together now, but it’ll be just as fun as every lesson so far!

Open your workbook to Step VI, that is, the tasks on pages 16-17!

Our material:

I. Review:

Do you remember that in previous lessons we talked about which learning style each person represents? Which one do you belong to?

II. Our new topic

Good Student? Bad Student? STUDENT

The central question: What is a good student like, and what is a bad student like? Let’s talk about it!

If you ask me, I’d say we all know there’s no such thing as a “good student” and a “bad student” – there’s only a STUDENT! Whoever studies becomes successful; that’s the student, because they work on their tasks. Whoever doesn’t study fails to reach their goals, because they don’t put in the necessary work.

And we are STUDENTS, meaning we take steps toward our goals and consciously build up our tasks and our future, as the playful tasks below also show!

 

THE STUDENT

Please read the text on pages 16-17! The solution to task 2 is hidden there in the text – it just takes a little idea to come up with good solutions.

So the task to solve is: page 17 / task 2

Underline with a red pencil those characteristics that you think are the bad student’s traits. Then, in green underline those that you think are the good student’s traits! You learned about verbal and non-verbal expressions in grammar class this year, but to make sure you understand the task, let me remind you:

– verbal (spoken) traits, for example: words, phrases, sentences that the student uses,

– non-verbal (non-spoken) traits, for example metacommunicative tools: posture, stress, intonation, facial expressions, gaze, gestures.

 

Task: Fill in the table on page 17 based on the underlined red and green data! We’ll check it at the beginning of our next lesson.

Don’t have the Playful Stepping Stones workbook? This time, exceptionally, you can download the relevant tasks.

 
 

I wish you good fun and good learning!
