Classwork/participationClasswork/participation
Learning is oral based so very important To encourage participation, students have participation sheets that get stamped when they contribute during certain times in class.
Students love getting ‘stamped’ and this adds to their participation grade.
Activities such as conducting surveys, playing out skits and singing songs make learning interesting and fun!
