Answer:
When I was little, I used to have a book with a collection of Russian proverbs and sayings. I remember being absolutely fascinated by the depth of knowledge and wisdom that I discovered on the pages of that book. Those proverbs opened a door for me to a better understanding of the Russian culture as well as important norms, morals, and life values. Indeed, I can say they helped me become a more mature and intelligent human being.
Speaking about second language learners: Proverbs can—like in my own experience—help them learn a great deal about the target culture and the norms and values that people in that culture respect and treasure. A writing class is a great venue for incorporating proverbs into teaching. With the effective use of proverbs, a teacher can both help students develop their writing skills and deepen their cultural knowledge. In other words, the use of proverbs kills two birds with one stone!
I want to share some activities that teachers can do in the writing classroom. Hopefully, they can inspire you to further ideas.
Using Proverbs as In-Class Journal Prompts
When I was teaching a writing class in an intensive English program, part of my weekly routine was having students write, twice a week, a 10-minute in-class journal. The prompts for these activities were prepared in advance, and were created to help students develop their creativity and analytical thinking. Proverbs seem to make excellent prompts for in-class journals. I suggest, however, that you select the proverbs with transparent rather than metaphorical meanings. Before the actual writing activity, you can also briefly explain the meaning of the proverb to help students move their thoughts in the right direction.
Here are some proverbs that you can use as journal prompts:
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Actions speak louder than words.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Bad news travels fast.
Better late than never.
Better safe than sorry.
Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Honesty is the best policy.
Never too old to learn.
Practice makes perfect.
Practice what you preach.
Two heads are better than one.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
