Interactive Learning

The picture above is during the Teaching Practice, 2021 at Hebesa Primary School, Wangdue Phodrang. 

It was when I was teaching one of the topics in English in grade 3, 'Zedd's Bread' that we decided to have a hands-on experience in baking doughnut. 

Zedd's Bread was about making bread, but we decided on making doughnut. The students were so excited that they agreed to bring all the ingredients required. We talked and discussed on who all will the ingredients. On the day we were supposed to make the doughnuts, students brought more ingredients than required which showed their excitement and enthusiasm for the activity. 

Preparing the ingredients, processing and finally enjoying the product was so much fun. Each student participated and there was so much interaction taking place between the students themselves and with me.  

This hands-on activity was effective for the students as they could relate the story of Zedd with what they did in the class as they prepared the doughnuts. 
Learning only through text and lectures could become boring for students, hence this activity was very helpful and effective.
