Alternative Learning – The Learning Tree Approach

The Learning Tree Approach.

Picture a tree with six main branches. At the end of each branch, you attach one of the following: who, what, where, when, why, and how. After reading, viewing, or discussing the subject, you ask one of each branch questions. Let me give you some examples. 

1. Who was the hero or heroin in the story? (Protagonist) (Antagonist)
2. What did they do that stood out to you?
3. Where did the story take place?
4. When did the story take place? 
5. Why do you think that?

In collaboration with our YouTube site, we welcome you back.

Greetings

Welcome back to the IWT Channel, where we explore innovative ways of alternative learning. 

Today, we’re delving into the ‘Use of Alternative Learning Methods.’ Traditional education methods only sometimes cater to every student’s learning style. Alternative methods, such as teaching with movies and television, can be particularly beneficial for students who may struggle with conventional approaches. They allow for a personalized, more engaging learning experience, fostering a lifelong love for learning.

Benefits

Using The learning or question tree approach of “Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How” Questions:

By asking these questions during post-viewing discussions, you can:

• Encourage critical thinking.
• Promote a better understanding of the storyline.
• Explore character motivations and development.
• Analyze the setting and context of the narrative.
• Consider the implications of the story.
• Encourage your child to think deeply and express themselves.

These are the many benefits and why we Re-emphasize the Value of Learning through Alternative Learning.

In conclusion, teaching with movies and television is a dynamic and enjoyable way to bond with your child while boosting their educational journey.
