Task Stages

  Learning, Teaching and Assessment Principles
Pre-task: In class, the teacher can ask pupils about the different ways they express their feelings. The teacher can discuss with the pupils what they do when they are happy, sad, shy, etc., or ask them what makes them feel happy, proud, safe, etc.
The teacher can discuss the relationship between thoughts and feelings. S/he can tell pupils that thinking about our thoughts helps us better understand our feelings. Pupils need to know that our thinking is connected to our feelings.
  • Pupils build on their prior language and world knowledge.
The task begins by pupils seeing a list of adjectives. They will see pictures that express these adjectives. They will have to drag an adjective and drop it next to the right picture. They will then read what the boy or the girl in the picture thinks and match the feelings to the thoughts. Pupils can choose to match between the pictures and feelings and/ or between feelings and thoughts.This depends on the pupils' abilities and learning styles.
  • Teachers create a supportive environment, one that allows pupils to take risks, to make errors and experiment with the language.
  • Materials take the pupils' level of cognitive and linguistic development into account.
After pupils place all the words and sentences in their places, those words and sentences that were put in the wrong place will jump back out. If the pupils put all the words and sentences in the right place, they will get positive feedback.
  • Pupils have opportunities to learn by doing.
