UNIT 2: Suggested Assessments:

1. Write a reflection paper on the different teaching strategies that promote

literacy.

As a future teacher it is important to know the different teaching strategies

that promote literacy to students. In the module of ‘’Teaching strategies for the

development of emergent literacy skills, I have learned that the reason why a lot

of teachers nowadays uses picture, videos, and objects as a material for their

lessons it is because using those is one of the teaching strategy to promote

literacy particularly the visual literacy. This strategy can create a direct and

sensory connection between the learners. It always piques the interest of the

students and brings the students close to the visual context and reality world.

Also, as one of the visual learners this strategy are really helpful to promote

visual literacy as pictures provide concrete visual description of ideas. The

readers can clearly understand the ideas or information.

Moreover, I have realized that the repetitive reading of alphabet and their

sound, using letter tracing pages, and picture-word matching are also one of the

teaching strategies. Well, I can tell that these strategies are really a good one

especially for the kinder and elementary learners because when I was in

elementary I have also experienced those kinds of teaching strategies which

really help me to be familiar with words and sounds. Reading aloud in classroom

is also a foundation for literacy development because reading aloud activities

really help students to be fluent, sharp their focus, increase their comprehension,

and strengthen their listening skills. These different teaching strategies truly

provided me information and references on how I will also teach my students to

promote literacy in future.

discussion, will you always answer them? Why/Why not?

If I am a teacher and my students ask me some questions during our class

discussion, I would certainly listen and answer them because this means that my

students are willing to learn and there are few things that they don’t understand

and want me to explain it to them. This question and answer between me and

my students can builds more interactions, communication, and collaboration

throughout our discussion. Also, asking a question in front of the class is not

something that students do very often because sometimes the students feel

scared and shy especially if the teacher simply ignores to answer it, so as a

future teacher I want to make my students feel that I am willing to answer them

as much as I could even they ask multiple times. Moreover, this questions and

answers towards my students will make my students feel a sense of

belongingness especially if the students who raise questions are struggling

learners, they will feel that their thoughts are welcome, valid, and can be

answered. The students centered approach is more prevalent because this

questions and answer can explore thoroughly throughout the discussion and

making the discussion more interactive and meaningful and at the end of the

discussion teacher will ask questions to all the learners.

3. Prove that collaborative activities are appropriate for the development of

the 21st literary skills. Give an example of collaborative activity and explain

how it is conducted.

Collaborative activities are appropriate for the development of the 21 st

literary skills because when the teacher pair or groups the students to work

together, the students have the opportunity to express their ideas or opinions to

each other. The students especially the shy learners are able to express

themselves and practice their speaking, listening, and comprehension skills to

what their groups are discussing. Collaborative activities allow students to link

with other students with diverse cultural background such as race and social

upbringing to work together, share, and learn about their different culture and this
setting is a good forum for the development of the social, information, and multi-

cultural literacy skills. Furthermore, collaborative activities such as groupings for

reporting, video/drama presentation, and task-based projects are also

appropriate for the development of the 21 st literacy (media, digital, and

arts/creativity literacy) because the groups are able to work together in sharing

and exploring their different knowledge, skills, and creativity in using the different

media and digital platforms to make their presentation more presentable and

meaningful. Through the use of collaborative activities students can provide

review and feedbacks to their peers so the groups can revise and edit their

works/presentation using the technology.

Examples of collaborative activities are drama and role play and this

activity can benefit any area of the curriculum. Drama is a very useful tool for

digging deeper into subjects, making learning memorable, and fostering

cooperation and empathy. For the learner to be able to use language confidently

in speech or writing, drama and role play can provide an opportunity for them to

hear and practice it in a meaningful context.

1. Organize students into groups.

2. Set the criteria on how the role play will be graded.

3. The teacher will provide specific scenario to each group

4. The teacher will asks each group to have a group leader. The leader will

assign each member of their roles. (Script writer, characters, narrators,

etc.)

5. The teacher will give them enough time to practice and rehearse their

lines and actions.

6. The students will act out the scenario.

7. The teacher will provide the grade per group and provide feedback.
