TASK 1

Justify your choice of material and teaching-learning activity based on pedagogical

principles. Your justification should be not less than 800 words.

In the process of making the teaching learning activities for poems, we have take
three pedagogical principles of teaching young learners that is the element of age, interest
and content. Firstly, in order to create a good teaching learning, it must be according to the
pupils interest. The poems consist of simple and easy vocabularies which make it easier for
the pupils to understand. As mention before, it is important to create activity that interests the
pupils to learn. Considering the properties of the poems, we create activity that will enable
the pupils can understand through acting and reciting the poems. Since the contents of the
poem are quite suitable for the pupils, there shouldnt be problems for the pupils to recite a
poem and act the poem as well. This activity can be done among the Year 1 Year 3
student for teaching poem to them at the very young age.

The second teaching and learning activities for young learner that we create is Listen
and draw, also focusing on the same 3 pedagogical principles that have been mention
earlier. The listening and drawing activities can actually have pupils attention in class
instead of reading poems that the pupils can understand the meaning. Suitable for Year 1
Year 3, these activities gives the pupils freedom to express their creativity through drawing.
This activity will actually gives teacher the idea of how their pupils way of thought when it
comes to listening and how the pupils express themselves in their own way. Pupils will have
the idea that every poems have character and story in it and they can express it through
drawing too.
