Writing ~~ Beyond Basic For example the word “angry”.

“Angry” is a basic emotion. Let us give it a value of – 0.

How do you show “angry”?

Maybe with an angry face.

Understanding ChildrenA basic understanding of children’s

learning is an essential for a teacher.

By using a systematic approach you can integrate may methods to achieve a goal.

Children’ Learning Children have the same needs as

adults when learning something new.

They need visual stimulation as well as physical touch. By putting these together we teach sensory words.

Sensory Values One of the key factors in learning

English is the value of words to use.

When we teach we need to teach the emotional values. This means that when we teach a value we must add the action and reaction to the learning cycle.

SV 2 Angry For example the word “angry”.

“Angry” is a basic emotion. Let us give it a value of – 0.

How do you show “angry”?

Maybe with an angry face.

SV 3 “Angry” Now let us take some time to think of

other words for “angry”.

How about “hate”.

What value does “hate” have?

It has a high emotional value.

SV 4 “Angry” How about a less emotional word for

“angry”.

Let us try “disagree”. This is a long word for the kindergarten but should be ok for the mid-elementary.

So we have a basic and more advanced vocabulary from one word.

SV 5 “Angry” Often miscommunication is about lack

of vocabulary. The wrong word can add fire or kill the fire of this problem.

Once children learn to, not only memorize but conceptualize the core word they can branch out into more of the same idea expressing different levels of emotion.

SV 6 “ Angry” Write down “Angry, Hate, and Disagree”

on different cards.

Say them with your voice first. Each with a different emotional value.

Repeat this with the children. Make sure they change their voice and emotion with each one.

SV 7 “Angry” We have now helped the children to

express themselves with one word.

We have also added an emotion to be connected with the word.

Did you write your words on the same color of paper?

SV 8 “Angry” Emotions need color. Red is for high

etc.

Color is also important to children’s learning. They will remember color better than words.

By connecting words with color you add to the learning process for later.

SV 9 “Angry” Now we have three words, emotions, and

colours.

Now let us make a simple sentence.

I hate you. I am angry with you. I disagree with you.

SV 10 “Angry” Each sentence is different.

This matches the difference in the word and emotion.

If we make the same sentence we confuse the child in connecting the three.

Have the children repeat the sentence with you with the complementing emotion.

SV 11 “Angry” Now the children have a sentence to

focus on with the emotion and the word.

We want to make a drama script.

Think about 3 relationships that can make your student angry, disagree, or hate.

SV 12 “Angry” Make each one into a scene with the

strongest first. “hate”

In English we want to learn the high to low emotion, or red to blue colour sequence and connect them to a real idea.

Let us make the scene with hate.

SV13 “Angry”Introduction Scene 1 You showed your friend a toy and they

won’t give it back.

Question to children is your emotion high or low?

Now write each scene.

SV “Angry” Scene 1 Jane – Look at this new toy (Kind)+ I got for Christmas (higher)+ from my mother. (higher) Kelly – Wow it is so nice. (kind)+ May I hold it? + It is so soft.

“Angry” Now let us take some time to think of other words for “angry”.

What value does “hate” have?

Now let us make a simple sentence.

I hate you. I am angry with you. I disagree with you.
