students learning Hindi during art and craft activities. I decided to try out the same strategy for English lessons.
From my English textbook, I chose a story that had many different animal characters. I had students make masks and costumes for the animals in the story.
Before the students started to create their masks and costumes, I wrote some vocabulary in English on the blackboard:
Art words: ‘colour’, ‘cut’, ‘paste’, ‘material’, ‘paint’, ‘draw’, ‘shape’.
Animals: ‘monkey’, ‘tiger’, ‘deer’, ‘pig’, ‘frog’, ‘fish’.
Adjectives: ‘old’, ‘young’, ‘small’, ‘big’, ‘bright’, ‘dark’, ‘brown’, ‘orange’, ‘black’, ‘green’, ‘striped’, ‘slippery’, ‘shiny’.
