Pause for thought
We have looked at a wide range of writing tasks in various teaching situations. You should now take a few moments to think about your own situation and see whether any of the materials you have considered, or the principles behind them, can be applied to your teaching context, in order to add variety to what you do.
Reflection activity 8
| Consider a module that you teach on in your department. Make a list of any of the activities above that you might like to try in order to widen the range of tasks that you currently set during your teaching. Which activities would you definitely NOT be able to use? |
It is hoped that you will have found at least a few new ideas to try out. If you haven't, perhaps it is worth asking yourself if there is anything you can do to introduce variety into the classroom. If you are only repeating tried and trusted exercises and activities, this may ultimately become demotivating for the students.
