The verbal and social
learning that takes place during an activity such as collage-making stimulates
language development. As a session activity, collage-making activity was conducted.
Students took it as opportunity to discuss what they were doing and to interact
with their peers at the collage table. The collage had a theme-‘Know Players’.
Specific vocabulary was targeted as well. By modeling this activity with grade
VII students were not only helped to gain an understanding of how to make
collages but also to learn the kind of language it generates. They gathered a
wide range of interesting materials. Glue and a surface for mounting were given
to them.
The teacher of this session
noted the conversations that occur around the collage-making process, paying
special attention to the vocabulary used. After the collage was made, the teacher
shared her observations and the students shared their conversations and
thoughts on the process.
