  • What possibly made some learners uncomfortable during these activities?

Some learners were possibly shy. Due to religious considerations, one pupil was unhappy with the usage of a Zulu song that he did not understand, while the other learner, a girl, felt uncomfortable dancing in front of guys and to house music.

Due to religious considerations, a girl, felt uncomfortable dancing in front of guys and to house music.

  • Can you think of ways to address these issues in future? What will you change? Yes, I will play a Zulu song and translate it for the students; but, before I do so, I will explain the song to them so that they understand what it is about. I will strive to make the student who struggles to dance in front of males feel welcome by not forcing her to dance in front of boys. I'll attempt to get suggestions from other teachers on how to deal with the matter.
  • How can we accommodate diverse learner profiles in our classrooms? What must we beware of?

Distracting factors must be eliminated (seating, use of desk clocks). Assisting with cueing. Allowing for mobility in the classroom. Keeping in touch with parents on a frequent basis. Reminding students of assignments, processes, and duties by visual, audio, and textual means.
