Concept Cards Activity
For this module I planned an activity that could help my students with the concepts we had in our reading material. I wrote the concepts on index cards, and my trainees wrote the definitions on the back. At the end I used the cards to ask them questions.
As we usually do for this type of activities we sat at our round table. Cards were placed facing up, so students chose the concepts they were familiar with. They were asked to write the definitions on the back of the cards, they were allowed to look up in their reading materials to check on the ones they didn´t remember well. When they were done, they gave me the cards, and I asked them questions using the cards in random order. This activity could be done in a contest-like form giving points to the student or team who gets the answer right.
This activity promoted self-guidance and independent learning. The teacher became a helper or a facilitator.
