Covid-19 with KWL Chart

Hello everyone, my classmates and I have created a KWL chart on Padlet. KWL is an abbreviation for What We Know, What We Want to Know, and What We Learnt. We chose the Covid-19 topic for this task which has become a significant part of our lives in the past two years. We realized that there are still some facts that we don’t know about Covid-19. This chart led us to learn them.

KWL charts are very beneficial for both their creators and readers. So creating a KWL chart task can be given to students. The reasons why they are beneficial for their creators are:

The What We Know section is important in terms of testing the student's ability to gather what they know and put them on paper. The What We Want To Know section help students to reveal their inquiring personalities. The What We Learnt section is beneficial for students as it demands students to research and confirm the reliability of the knowledge they get. In this section students also needed to redact the information in terms of intelligibility.

In my teaching life, I am going to give creating a KWL chart task to my students as I believe it is really fun and entertaining.

Vox-pop! Where do you see yourself in five years later?

Hello everyone, Fidem and I created an extraordinary content for our blogs. We created vox-pop which means a collection of different voices. In our vox-pop, ten people participated and we asked them where they see themselves in five years later? As all participants are university students, they have dreams and potential to make them real. It can be concluded from their statements that they want to be richer. Only few answered the question in terms of spirituality. This was predictable for us anyway. When we asked the question, some of them hesitated because they hadn’t thought about this before. However, some of them are so confident that I am sure they will be where they want to be. During the preparation phase, we had difficulties finding a topic. We wanted to find a question that everybody can answer. The participants answered questions willingly and maybe this question gave them some target. I c...

CREATING A POSTER

My teacher asked me to create a movie poster based on the book I read. I chose Rainbow Six from Tom Clancy which is a techno-thriller novel. There are a few video games based on that book which I like to play so much but there is not any movie which has been filmed yet, I hope one day it will be filmed because some of the books in the series were filmed. As recommended, I used postermywall to create my imaginary movie poster. You don't need to be a graphic designer to make poster thanks to this website. It is really easy to create posters in this website. You can adjust almost every detail. It also very entartaining to create a poster, especially if you do it for your one of your favourite books. This task develops imagination so I find it very logical to give students such a task. As a similar task I can ask my students to create an album cover. This album should include their favourite songs and has an overall concept.

CREATING AN INFOGRAPHIC: HOW TO BE A GREAT TEACHER

The topics of infographics can be anything, as a teacher candidate, I have prepared one about becoming great teachers. In preparation phase I used canva for template, it has a lot of templates for free. Infographics convey the message in a quick and clear way. Owing to these features of infographics, it could be very effective to give places to them in course books.
