Unfortunately, I could not join the Drama Lab; however, I imagine this method to be fun since the students shouldn’t feel overwhelming pressure of being in the spotlight on their own. A possible difficulty might be that students will not know the answer or how to imitate certain animals for which case the teacher or assistants will have to be prepared to help out.
Rescue the Zoo Animals – Ufuk
Introduction: I wanted to help the students learn new vocabulary on the animal kingdom. A quiz with animal pictures and scraps of paper with the name of the animal and its natural habitat.
Target group: Grade 5 and 6. The teacher can adapt to the English skill level of the students and insert more difficult animals names for example.
Learning objectives: Learn new vocabulary by playing the quiz. Learn mnemonic. Put the paper stripes in the right order. Besides those primary learning objectives. Naturally the students need to collaborate with one another. Pay attention to pronunciation etc.
Setting up the quiz: The teacher needs to print out pictures of animals and sentences with their names and their habitat. The sentences need to be cut in scraps of paper. The students work as a team and help each other to find the correct animal name. After finding the animal’s name the scraps of paper need to be put to the right picture and in the right sentence order.
