Q141

To teach poetry in the class, the teacher first reads a poem, then involves the learners in group work. One group writes the theme of the poem, another draws a picture to depict the main character and yet another writes the summary of the poem. This activity aims at :

  1. (1) Distracting the learners
  2. (2) Involving all students in the classroom
  3. (3) Catering to diverse abilities and interests of the learnersCorrect answer
  4. (4) Preparing learners for assessment

Solution.

CBSE answer: (3)

Answer: (3) Catering to diverse abilities and interests of the learners

  1. Different groups get different tasks: writing the theme, drawing the character, writing a summary.
  2. Learners who like drawing, writing or analysing can each respond to the poem in their own way.
  3. This is differentiated instruction, built on multiple intelligences.

Trap: (2) involving everyone is a by-product; the varied tasks show the real aim is diversity.
