Von der Einzelarbeit zur Partnerarbeit

Ruhe - Einzelarbeit - Partnerarbeit - Einsprachigkeit


1. Silence and quietness

  • Everybody is like this Qigong ball: complete - round - alone - separated - but it sounds.
  • You can listen to yourself when you are quiet and silent.
  • i.e. there is no movement nor any noise in your mind that disturbs you

2. Listen to yourself, look into yourself, touch your heart and find the middle of yourself.

  • What does it look like?
  • How does it sound?
  • How does it feel?

3. When you have come to silence and quietness,

  • when no sound nor movement outside can disturb you any longer, please come here and fetch your next task: It's a sheet of paper.
  • ( Task: Draw yourself as you see, hear or feel yourself at this moment )

4. You are separated and alone as persons

  • but you are connected with everybody in the universe.
  • Let's start with one partner. Choose a partner for this lesson.

5. Show your partner your picture and tell him/her all about you.

  • When there are expressions, words or sentences you don't know in English write them on a sheet of paper or here on the board.
  • Next, listen to your partner and draw a picture of him/her while listening.

6. Tell the class who your partner is, but don't tell her/his name.

7. Metaphase: Besprechung der Schwierigkeiten im Kreis.

  • Ruhe finden
  • Partnerwahl
  • Erzählen: Inhalt - Englisch

8. Homework:

  • Find some more characteristic words (adjectives) which can help you describe a person.



Draw yourself as you see, hear or feel.
That's me at the moment:

 
Show your partner your picture and tell him/her all about you.

When there are expressions, words or sentences you don't know in English
write them on this sheet of paper:



Now draw your partner and tell him/her all about your picture.
That's Mr or Ms IWONTSAY.
