1082. Are you a good actor or actress?
Teacher B said to
teacher A, “Nowadays it’s more difficult for kids to focus because there are
more devices that distract them. Focus and effort now are more difficult.
So what
now?
The teacher should be a bit kind of an actor or actress, who keeps their
students’ attention more than ever before. However, the thing depends on the
way that teacher is.
In my case, for example with kids aged 10 through 12 for
example, I try to be an actor in some way. I use intonation, silence, tension, games,
gestures, surprise, mimicry, eye-contact, addressing the students by their
names, I change the activity not to do things boring or flat.
I count on the
whiteboard as a good ally. I use realia if I can. I plan classes but not
extra-material: PowerPoint™, smartboard (we don’t have any)... Like I said [sic],
the main allies are gestures, voice and the whiteboard.” / Photo from: blog
