29 Nov 2021, 21:36 Publicly Viewable

What is play?

a  play tells a story, usually on stage or on a screen, using dialogue. a play can be called straight play, may have music in the action, but the music does not actually tell a story.

what possibly made some learners uncomfortable during these activities?

during this activities, learners were taught the song phrase-by-phrase and the correct pronunciation  but words were not explained.

why were some learners uncomfortable?

the other learner was not happy because he did not understand Zulu, and the other learner was not comfortable with dancing in front of the boys and to house music due to religious reasons.

can you think of ways to address these issues in future? what will you change?

as a teacher, when using other languages in class, I will explain each and every word. select songs that all learners relate to and enjoy. accommodate all learners from different religions and encourage learners to be free towards one another.

how can we accommodate diverse learner profiles in our classrooms? what must we beware of?

provide visual, written and auditory reminders of assignments.

remove distractions 

provide regular contact with parents

allow classroom movements.
