Content-based material about NOUN for class I

Content-based materials

This time I am here with the materials to teach class I. The subject I have chosen is English and the topic is “Noun”. The main objectives of the materials I have designed is to let students define the word noun and to identify the noun. I have used Microsoft PowerPoint and video as a tool to design the content based materials. I have converting PowerPoint into video because it appeal to all levels of learners and the learning style. Students can pause the video and take a break when required but in PowerPoint presentation there is no option for pause because it goes on and on and it will be exhausting and boring. Thus, video serve a multi- purposes and a great tool for effective learning.

I have downloaded relevant pictures from the internet in order to provide a better concept because children can retain the information for longer duration. I have inserted my voice in every slides because it will guide the students while watching and help them to identify and tell the name of the person, things, places and animals correctly. Moreover, I have used simple and different animations in order to arouse curiosity in children and avoid distractions.

Creation of content-based materials

To design the materials, I have chosen Microsoft Power Point as a ICT tool because it is easier for me to integrate and animate with the best use of ICT skills and using different kinds of shapes, animations mainly to cater the students’ concentration in learning in different ways. Moreover I used different pictures downloaded from the google and also used different shapes to make the materials more presentable to the learners. Most of the time I have used animations such as wipe, bounce and wheel and Arial Black as my text font to provide valid information. I have also used different shapes to create village scene, shape of table, pens and pencils in the form of simulation in my video lesson to engage the students in deep learning. Furthermore, I decided to put voice over in every slides thinking that my students will engage in different sets of learning (visual, auditory and kinesthetic). Then lastly my PowerPoint lesson was converted into video where the video lesson which is more reliable source of information for the students. Moreover video provides huge amounts of lesson in a short time and it is more engaging to the senses, so it can convey more information by showing and telling at the same time.

In order to check the understanding of the learners of the lesson taught using the materials developed, I have also designed learning activities to check how they have understood the information about the topic. To make the students clear about how to go about the activity, I have also given instruction to enhance the student’s understanding, boost their confidence and the ability to think critically about the topic. Moreover it also helps teacher to know how students have understood the lesson from the materials I have created.

When and how to use?

The materials I have created will be going to use during the lesson development to implementing the ideas of noun by showing video along with explanation in order to understand the main concept of the topic by the learners. The materials I have developed will be used during the learning activity and I have designed activity after the provision of information inputs where it will help the children to enhance understanding about the topic. Before the activity, once more I will let students to watch to video and then let them to do activity according to the instructions given. Therefore, as a teacher it is important to create conducive learning environment and to have conducive teaching and learning environment, it is important to use ICT integrated materials to enhance both teaching and learning.
