Topic 6: Groups Activities And Meeting Individual Difference
Meaning Group Activity
students working collaboratively on one task, in or out of the classroom.
Group sizes can vary from pairs to large groups of students. This guide deals with small groups (pairs and small teams of three to six). While the focus is on the face-to-face environment, much of the content also applies to larger groups or the online context.
Individual Difference In Group
Individual differences in bodily appearance and physique, habits and skills, interests and temperaments, abilities and attainments have already been recognised.
According to Skinner, “Today we think of individual differences as including any measurable aspect of the total personality.” It is clear from this definition of individual differences that it comprehends every aspect of human personality which is in some manner measurable.
STEPS ON BRAINSTORMING
1) The teacher writes the topic on the board and calls for ideas from the class. Teacher is not to question or evaluate them.
2) The class is allowed to seek for clarification, but not to delete items on the master list.
3) From this new list, each person makes his own list of ideas
4) The students then ranks these ideas in order of importance
5) The whole class then votes on the ideas in order of importance from rank one to five.
6) Ideas receiving the most points are then discussed in full.
Creative Teaching Method
Sample:
1) Teaching out side the classroom
2)using technologies in lesson.
Eg:

-Using kahoot as a platform to play some quiz in the classroom.

LANGUAGE GAME
TRADITIONAL
eg: Scrabble
Scrabble is often considered the king of word games. In this traditional game, players make words to score points. They can earn more points for using less frequently used letters (such as Q and Z) or by playing their letter tiles on bonus squares that give the double and triple letter and word points. When playing Scrabble with English language learners, allow them to use a dictionary or a word finder while playing. However, before playing a word they must be able to say and give the meaning of the word. This will prevent students from using the craziest words to score the most points.
TECHNOLOGICAL
eg: Quick, Draw! (online game)
Quick, Draw! is an online game developed by Google that challenges players to draw a picture of an object or idea and then uses a neural network artificial intelligence to guess what the drawings represent. The AI learns from each drawing, increasing its ability to guess correctly in the future.
