The described GP is an educational scenario that concerns
the third grade of primary
school and can be also used in an integration class. It is integrated
into the Greek language course
but can also be used to
teach social skills.
The topics addressed in the educational scenario are the reading of a passage
from a literary book in combination with the four language skills,
namely listening and listening comprehension, oral production, reading
and comprehension and written production.
It is proposed that the
educational process be approached through learning stations, with each learning station presenting the book "The Little Prince" in a different
narrative way (book, audio
narration, animation, drama, song and poems) so that all students have the opportunity to participate in the book (multimodal narrative texts).
The goals of the GP are for
learners to develop language and communication skills, enhance comprehension and analytical abilities and foster social
and collaborative skills.
The educator shapes the classroom
into different activity areas according to the
interests and needs of the learners.
The central object of study is the
literary work of “The Little Prince”. Each learning station presents the book, but also a different narrative way of
presenting it. In total, there are five
learning stations as many as there are groups of students.
Through this model, students are given the opportunity, either individually or in groups,
to read and listen to a passage from the book in order to study it,
understand it, and note some phrases
that made an impression on them. The gradation of the teaching content
and materials is intended to increase the active participation of all students.
The steps to be followed
include:
- Teaching the Little Prince book through differentiated instruction and learning stations, discussion around the theme of friendship, and brainstorming.
- Listening to the text, handout with comprehension questions, group discussion and presentation to the class.
- Reading comprehension
questions, vocabulary comprehension activities, use of an electronic dictionary, use of new technologies to
understand the use of relevant
vocabulary.
- Role-playing game and assessment.
The described GP can be transferred to different settings.
General guidelines for
transferability include Methodology Adaptations: use learning stations with multimodal narrative
techniques suitable for adult learners or different educational contents
by selecting appropriate texts.
Environment Adaptations: modify
for non-formal or digital environments by adjusting materials, schedules, and engagement strategies, giving participants more choice and autonomy.
Cultural
Adaptations: Modify texts and materials to reflect the cultural context of learners,
using relevant examples
and references to enhance engagement and understanding. Class Size Adaptations: Adjust the scenario for different class sizes to ensure full participation.
