Catchy Learning Cottage: More of the Character Quilts

Keeping Kids Creative

Dear Readers,

We have all heard the buzzwords of the knowledge-based economy - creative, innovative, resourceful.We are told that our students will need these abilities, not just facts and figures, to thrive in the workplace of the future. And we,their teachers, need to equip them through creative teaching. Hence, here I try to unravel the nuts and bolts behind these ideas, to find out what creative teaching is all about and how it can be implemented in the classroom.

Join Me and I will appreciate it very much if you sign in my guestbook and leave your comments.

More of the Character Quilts

The best three Character Quilts created by my beloved
students.

On the other panels, I proudly present the Book Covers illustrated by
my dearest ones.

First, Second and Third placing

I valued what my students did very much. With great effort and commitment shown during the hours spent in completing their tasks, they also learnt to value each character in the story. For this stage - Tidy Your Room, Tanya!
They were so happy and proud when I announced the best 3 winners of the competition and their masterpieces were pasted high up on the wall of my CCL Room. Totaly in clear view of everybody who entered the room.
And guess what.....they asked for more mini and extended projects so that they can win more prizes.
So happy that they actually dived into the world of literature so deeply. Through competing for the awards and prizes, my students learnt literature..........

i'm a beginning teacher, majoring in English. however, i was not taught how to teach literature during my degree program. wondering, what it is all about literature from your perspective? is it all about conveying your thought, no right neither wrong. or it is about understand the text solely?; July 30, 2012 at 4:41 PM
