classes
3. Develop a teaching technique that
ensures the participation of pupils in a
literature class.
INTRODUCTION
Do you remember your effective

elementary teacher?
As a future and effective teacher we

must always wear the hat of a teacher
whose latitude of techniques is vast.
These techniques ensure that all your
pupils are actively engaged while
developing their love for literature
and enhancing their literacy level.
Pupils in any English or Literature
class are varied in many ways.
- Some learners are endowed with a
high level of activeness but there are
also learners who never tend to stand
and speak.
- Some of the newest strategies and
techniques that a teacher could use to
subdue daydreaming in class.
1.) RIPPLING AND BOUNCING ANSWERS
It was suggested by Himele (2011), this

teaching technique is used to elicit answers
to be processed by the class. It is lodged
under a collaborative teaching approach. As
a teacher skills to control and apply this
technique is so important because of
learner's diversity.
RIPPLING AND BOUNCING ANSWERS
Step-by-Step Directions:
1. The teacher writes or shows a controversy or an
open- ended question related to the text.
2. Provide ample time for the pupils to think about
their answers.
3. All pupils respond individually to the prompt or
question or controversy.
4. All pupils share their responses in dyads or triads.
5. Volunteers then share. Pairs or small groups call out
a sentence summary when they are called on to share.
2.) LINK-IT CARDS!
Encouraging the pupils to share their thoughts is

easy. but ensuring that they have words to mumble
and share is another story. The tenets of
constructivism as a teaching theory may be applied
to allow the pupils to take the initiative for their
own thought-sharing experience. Hence, using
"Link-It Cards" banks on the power of scaffolding or
learner-support in the initial stage of thought
processing for him/her to be an active learner.
LINK-IT CARDS!
1. The teacher writes or show instructions plus the prompts.
For instances Find out the meaning of your classmates
answers by asking him/her a question starting with any of
the following statements;
a. I did not get that part on...
b. I understand that part, but I am not so certain about...
c. How about if...
d. So you mean to say that...
2. The prompts are then written on the cards.
3. Distribute the cards or let each pupil pick a card.
4. Allow time for conversation.
5. Process the answers in big group sharing.
3. FINDING PARTNER IN A MUSIC
MINGLE
• This activity is a discussion-based technique that
ensures total participation (Himmele, P., Himmele,
W., & Potter, 2014). Pupils are blind folded as they
look for partners to converse with later. Music
plays an essential role in this activity as a variation
to consider auditory learners. Controversies, open-
ended questions and reflective questions related
to the text are needed to be prepared by the
teacher.
3. FINDING PARTNER IN A MUSIC
MINGLE
Rules must also be discussed before this

activity, like:
-avoid leaving someone when the music stop,
-respect the opinions and answers of your
classmates, -stopping and speaking with same
person twice is prohibited, and
-side chatter is prohibited.
FINDING PARTNER IN A MUSIC MINGLE
Step-by-Step Directions
1. The teacher prepares a piece of lively music something that
the pupils can relate to and enjoy.
2. The controversy or open-ended question about the text to
be read or had been read) is posted on the board.
3. Rearrange their positions and remind them to keep quiet.
4. Play the music and let them roam around the room.
5. Allow time for the conceptualization of answers (wait-time).
6. Blindfold the pupils.
7.Stop the music and allow them to find their pair,
8. Let them take off their blindfolds and allow time to share.
4. EXPANDING YOUR NETWORK
This activity is best used for debriefing or

as lesson- ender. Again, the teacher's role
is to provide debriefing prompts,
questions, or incomplete statements. The
teacher should offer metacognitive
questions to engage the pupils in
conversation effectively.
EXPANDING YOUR NETWORK
1. The debriefing question or prompt is posted on
the board.
2. Allow time for the conceptualization of answers
(wait- time).
3. Ring a bell or use any sound signal for them to
look for a partner with whom they have not talked
to in the whole period.
4. Allow time for conversation and sharing.
5. Ring a bell again or play the sound signal.
5. HUMAN LIKERT SCALE AND SAVVY SURVEY
Through this activity, pupils will have the chance to

enhance their decision-making skills and to let them
make a stand on an issue. At the same time, they
will have the opportunity to discuss with their
classmates whose stand is the same as theirs. It is
an excellent way to focus on themes and concepts
within the text being discussed. It leads to the
creation of a wide array of options. Paramount
requirement for it to be successful is a set of highly
debatable and controversial topics.One app you can
use is Kahoot, which can be interactive way to
conduct a survey.
HUMAN LIKERT SCALE AND SAVVY SURVEY
Step-by-Step Directions
1. The teacher identifies four spots in the room,
namely: Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, and
Strongly Agree.
2. The highly debatable question or issue is posted
on the board
3. Allow time for the conceptualization of answers
(wait- time).
4. Ring a bell or use any sound signal for them to
stand at the designated post that corresponds to
their level of agreement.
5. Allow time for conversation and sharing with their
groupmates. Ring a bell again or play the sound
