Deductive Thinking and Graphing the information: ISLAMIC ART

ISLAMIC ART: Deductive Thinking Approach and Graphing the Information

When teaching basic knowledge we may help students deduce this precise content: Islamic Art. Then the students can organise the acquired basic knowledge by using graphic organisers so as to aid understanding. When doing so it's important to follow a structured approach in which the Language skills are present:

First, we should highlight the specific content or topic that our students will be working on. Deductive Thinking Methodologies.

How did we do so in our co-teaching lesson:

- We started with an overview of the content (Islamic Art) by the History specialist, in order to provide context.

- Then the Language Advisor encouraged our students to make predictions based on previous knowledge.

- We adjusted their predictions and guided them through a graphic organiser.

Our students were guided to work on a section of the content: shapes and patterns in Islamic Art.

We provided constructive feedback and support to help them improve as they were creating their own graphic materials, individually.
