Plan learning activities
Learning activities should meet the following criteria:
- being directly related to the learning objectives
- being predicated on students’ learning profile (ability, interests, preferences, needs, etc.)
When considering what learning activities to organize in a lesson, teachers can refer to the curriculum mapping platform where a list of recommended activities is presented. It should be noted that these activities are optional, not mandatory. Teachers can make their own choice in whether to adopt these suggested ideas or design some of their own that better suit their students’ needs.
A variety of activities can be employed to engage students. Based on the teaching & learning goals, class profile and classroom environment features, a careful selection of activities is required to ensure a high impact learning experience delivery to students. Below is a table of different types of activities and their descriptions.
