Variety...is the spice of classroom!

 

Picture Perfect!👸

“Drawing is not what one sees but what one can make others see” –Edgar Degas

The characters of Listen to the Mountain

The feeling of transferring one’s thoughts to a paper cannot be described always. It’s the deepest form of communication. When you draw someone creating them first in your mind and then on to a paper is a form of love. You develop an unknown bond with the person that you try to draw. A paper could "catch the eye" very easily. That’s why they are considered a suitable teaching aid for teaching English to students. For teaching the lesson Listen to the Mountain I have drawn the portrait of all the characters of the play. It felt as if I know all the characters after I pictured and drew them. A strange form of connection was developed.

Origami Mountain


Origami Mountain is ready!

Creating something like a mountain from an A4 size paper within minutes… The artwork behind it is amazing. How a paper transforms into a beautiful creation. That’s why I decided to emulate the origami mountain and use it as an activity in the online class. It was a very successful one!

Words, words, and more words!

Teaching new words with the help of film clips, videos and pictures are interesting to the students. One needs to try it out. The connection is established easily.
