Blackboard drawing – techniques and ideas to support language teaching in classes 1-4
Course content
Why blackboard drawing in language lessons? Drawing is another way of engaging artistically with the content in language lessons. If accompanied well, the children will “draw in English”. After being thoroughly active, it is a time – about ten minutes – when pupils can calm down and re-centre themselves. The teacher is able to set a mood for the following lesson.
On this course participants will have the opportunity to discover the potential of blackboard drawing, to dare to draw, to practice basic techniques and to create their own pictures. We will practice using blackboard drawing to help bring stories and rhymes to life. We will also discuss the value of drawing (in moderation) with children in language lessons, and have time for questions and reflection.
No previous ability is necessary other than openness and curiosity!
