Activation Study Engage

Engaging students in the classroom can be a difficult task. Understanding the process of how students learn can help a teacher adapt the lesson to meet the needs of all students. I will encounter students that are not intrinsically motivated so I will need to find different ways to motivate each and every student. Understanding how my students learn can provide me with insights as to how to help each student learn which will minimize classroom management problems.

I used different behaviour management and engagement strategies throughout the lessons taught (artefact 4) to promote student participation (standards 4.1 and 4.3). The 10 micro-skills for classroom

As well as the quality of spoken language that children hear on a day to day basis will have a vast impact on the grammar and language they use. Therefore teachers and all teaching staff should ensure they continue to develop children’s confidence when it comes to communication by developing the skills needed to explain their understanding this is also vital when it comes to understanding and explaining of books or other recourses. All children should have access to and be encouraged to develop their role in drama. Pupils should be able to adopt, create and sustain a range of roles, responding appropriately to others in role. They should have opportunities to improvise, devise and script drama for one another and a range of audiences, as well as to rehearse, refine, share and respond thoughtfully to drama and theatre

I will try to engage students with a story to start the lesson, which will focus their learning (Moitra, 2014). For example, introducing the lesson on alcohols by recounting their use in our daily life and why they are used in those situations. This engagement allows connection to their lives, they start the class by realising what you are saying to them is important and you are worth listening to (Makodia, 2009). This needs to be told with enthusiasm and passion to show that what you are saying is exciting and fascinating. This will require a range of tone and pace to allow the students to feel like they are hearing an interesting story. Through using gestures and walking around the class I can engage all students by allowing them to follow

Learners were then given the opportunity to either write a diary, perform a short role-play

My first topic is the health risks and problems that smoking tobacco causes. Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable illness and

No matter what, a routine is important within the classroom, but outside of the basic routine, it’s important to shake things up to provide different activities to keep the students’ attention. Some students work better within groups, and others on their own, so it is very important to make sure a teacher has a balance of that. This will also help strengthen the students’ skills by working on both of these. An example of engagement could be based on a kindergarten classroom. As they’re developing and reaching certain developmental milestones, listening and sitting still is difficult for them. Kindergarteners weren’t made to sit in a chair all day and be silent, movement and talking are a huge part of the various developmental milestones they surpass. Having activities that get the kids up and moving can be very beneficial to not only them but the teacher as well because it keeps the students

Thesis: Many of you may be unfamiliar with such a topic, so today I will cover the mysterious world of study drugs and the hidden dangers associated with them.

This involves a learning process that engages the learners. Attention is moved from the teacher to the learners through practices such as role playing, group work and problem-based approaches, for instance. These activities put the learners in a situation where it is up to them to use available learning resources to solve problems, hence causing active learning.

They can also help motivate student’s desire to learn by being engaged with both the content and students themselves.

Active engagement occurs in the classroom when a teacher makes the connection between teaching and learning through pedagogy. The choice of pedagogy must see fit with the content of the lesson which in return will assist the teacher in constructing a more meaningful and supportive learning environment where students’ are more willing to participate and be actively engaged. The most important skill in pedagogies is relating the learning experience to real world situations in which students’ can relate too (Churchill et al., 2011).

Rationale: this activity will help students practice spelling, vocabulary, grammar and text formation which differ quite a lot from speaking.

My observations has taught me the importance of engaging students. I am now able to recognize when a student is not engaged. They seem distracted and are not paying attention to what the teacher is saying. Whereas an engaged student is alert, discussing the material, and asking questions

Smoking is harmful and dangerous for American University in Cairo (AUC) students. Worldwide, tobacco use causes more than 5 million deaths per year (“Fast Facts”) and this is a large number of smokers that should be decreased. In Egypt, there are 34, 000 deaths each year due smoking, according to the article “Smoking in Egypt | Egypt Independent”. However, the number of smokers in Egypt is increasing every day and especially among youth. AUC took a first step to protect its students from this danger by banning indoor smoking. AUC banned smoking10 feet from classrooms to maintain a healthier environment .However, it did not decrease the number of smokers on campus so AUC should ban smoking on campus.This essay will prove that smoking should be banned on the AUC campus for several reasons. Firstly, the number of smoking youth is increasing every day because Egypt is a smoking culture and they observe their parents smoking with few changes in health. Secondly, AUC should try to provide a healthier environment for the students and the working faculty because it is its responsibility. Thirdly, ban on smoking will set an example in Egypt to quit smoking and prevent others from this dangerous habit. Finally, AUC students are role models for the Egyptian people so they should become healthier to be more productive.
