English section of Shenzhen Xinhua Dalton School is actively promoting
innovations in ELT. The English Experimental School in Shenzhen has been
actively working with “Let’s Daltonize English” for already third year.
Let’s
Daltonize English is a set of 150 free choice assignments based on a structure
of:
📌Multiple Intelligences
📌Bloom’s taxonomy in a cognitive domain.
📒In this
issue of “Dalton Times”, the children's assignments from "Let's Daltonize
English" were published. Children’s task was to solve the real life problem in
the form of a short story, poster, presentation or a short drama, in case of an
older children class debate. Children are free to choose the way they would
like to make an assignment. The idea of the project is to promote and engage
constructive learning with the key elements such as:
📚reflection;
📚ownership;
📚solving authentic problem;
📚collaborative learning;
📚peer assessment,
📚deriving from previous experience to construct the new knowledge.
By solving
global issues from different scientific fields, children learn not only the new
vocabulary, but also think constructively and critically.✍📓🧑
