ABSTRACT
Selecting activities that
provide students with the best practice opportunities can be a challenge.
In this presentation/workshop, we will review how to select activities
that best meet the learning goals of the students, evaluate typical activities
for their effectiveness and investigate ways to revise activities to make
them more effective. Activities such as "Find Someone Who", quiz games
and charades are all popular classroom activities. Are these
activities doing all they can?
How can we make these activities
work harder? In the workshop, we will look at some examples of activities
that have been revised. A brainstorming session will allow participants
to share ideas and information about activities that work, and think of
ways to make existing activities more effective. At the end of the
workshop, participants will have concrete information and ideas they can
apply to their teaching.
