That&#8217;s what we did, for instance,\nwhen teaching how to write instructions. The students were given a task, to\nwrite a list of instructions on how to make a birthday card. They learnt the\nimportance of ordinal numbers, sequence and verbs in the imperative form. What\nbetter way to test their own instructions than by actually using them to make\ntheir own card! In this way, they were able to notice whether they left any\ndetail or instruction out and they were also able to correct their own work. The\nvery creative and colourful cards were then hung in class and later on given to\ntheir respective recipients. Through this exercise we could confirm that the\nbest way of learning about something is by doing, or as Confucius once said, \u201cI\ndo and I understand\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-03-16-at-4.37.42-PM-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-03-16-at-4.37.42-PM-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-03-16-at-4.37.42-PM-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-03-16-at-4.37.42-PM-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-03-16-at-4.37.42-PM-360x270.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-03-16-at-4.37.42-PM.jpeg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>contributed by Ms Krista Mizzi, Class Teacher 5.2 In order to make lessons meaningful to our students, we try to link our knowledge to life experiences.
