Improving Student Engagement in Your Classroom
Are you searching for ways to get your students more involved in class? You have come to the right place. This article will go through ten activities that help student participation in your classroom.
Dinner Party: A small-group theatre project in which middle and high school students use questions about visitors and who would attend the dinner party to construct a guest list based on their learning curriculum. It may be used for any information.
Electronic Alphabet Books: A teaching concept in which alphabet-themed writing is written electronically and packed with in-depth study on the subject.
In My Mind’s Eye: A teaching concept in which students choose a content-related topic, discuss their project with the instructor, and photograph or video their thoughts.
Lyric Summaries: A teaching strategy in which students list the essentials they have learned in small groups. Each group summarizes their list, which becomes the new lyrics to their selected song. The class then hears the group sing their Lyric Summary.
Meeting of the Minds: A small-group theatre practice where players are interrogated by a “host” who is generally competent in history, science, mathematics, or literature. It may be used for any information.
What is Rapping for Review?: It is a teaching method in which students produce rap songs to demonstrate their understanding and opinions about the material they have learned.
Repeated Phrase Collaborative Poems: A sort of poem composed by students, generally in small groups, using three brief excerpts from a book chapter or a content-related novel that they found particularly relevant. The students write a repeating phrase that they place after each paragraph they choose.
Snapshots of History: It is a teaching concept in which students use an image of a historical event to create a tableau—a portrayal of a scene with groups of individuals who are stationary and silent—and then write a narrative in the first-person from the viewpoint of a specific person in their tableau.
Student-Authored Electronic Informational Books: A teaching method in which students write books to convey their concepts rather than submitting standard reports. For example, the students may investigate a significant area of their present studies and communicate their findings in a novel way—by writing a book.
Student-Created Electronic Picture Books: A teaching concept in which students use their knowledge and creativity to create non-traditional forms such as Electronic Alphabet Books and Student-Authored Electronic Informational Books to convey their views and topic area research.
