A. INCULCATING INTEREST IN ENGLISH USING THINKING BLOCKS
A. INCULCATING INTEREST IN ENGLISH USING THINKING BLOCKS Thinking Skills are mental processes we use to do things like: solve problems, make decisions, ask questions, construct plans, evaluate ideas, organize information and create objects.
One of the true measures of language proficiency is how well someone can use idioms (see example). Idioms cannot be translated directly into other languages, and confuse foreign students who cannot translate them word by word.
DRAW THIS DIAGRAM
Skill1: Interpretation
What it means: Having the ability to understand the information you are being presented with and being able to communicate the meaning of that information to others
Skill2:Analysis
What it means: Having the ability to connect pieces of information together in order to determine what the intended meaning of the information was meant to represent.
Skill 3: Inference
What it means: Having the ability to understand and recognize what elements you will need in order to determine an accurate conclusion or hypothesis from the information you have at your disposal.
Skill 4: Evaluation
What it means: Being able to evaluate the credibility of statements or descriptions of a person’s experience, judgment or opinion in order to measure the validity of the information being presented.
Skill 5:Explanation
What it means: Having the ability to not only restate information, but add clarity and perspective to the information, so it can be fully understood by anyone you are sharing it with.
Skill 6: Self-Regulation
What it means: Having the awareness of your own thinking abilities and the elements that you are using to find results.
B. EXPANDING IDIOMS AND PROVERBS
An idiom is a phrase that has a meaning which is different from the meanings of each individual word in it. For example, if someone says to you “I’m pulling your leg”, you might think it is strange because you would definitely be able to feel if someone was holding your leg and pulling it! This idiom actually means that they are teasing you or playing a joke on you.
EXAMPLE IDIOMS:
1. ‘The best of both worlds’ – means you can enjoy two different opportunities at the same time.
Example: By working part-time and looking after her kids two days a week she managed to get the best of both worlds.”
2. ‘See eye to eye’ – this means agreeing with someone.
Example: They finally saw eye to eye on the business deal.
3. ‘When pigs fly’ – something that will never happen.
Example: When pigs fly she’ll tidy up her room.”
What is a PROVERB?
It a short, well-known pithy saying, stating a general truth or piece of advice.
EXAMPLE PROVERBS:
1. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Meaning: Foolish people do not know how to hold on to their money.
Example: She gave up her entire estate on the basis of a verbal promise. A fool and his money are indeed easily parted.
2. Among the blind the one-eyed man is king.
Meaning: An incapable person can gain powerful position if others in the fray are even more incapable.
Example: Despite his obvious lack of exposure and skills, he became head of the department because he is one-eyed among the blind.
