Ritualization makes lessons more predictable and prevents such uncertainty what remains a former student after years of memory left, when he thinks back to his school days? There are the good as well as bad things, a fight that effort, like the teachers tabs to and also rituals of some teachers, the man is like, if also sometimes recalls with a shudder. Ritualisierungen are important for the learner. So rather, students know what’s coming to a period of teaching. You can set yourself, inside, far ahead on the hour. Nothing is less certain than ignorance. Rituals, however, even if they seem hard to make predictable teaching.
Meaningful Ritualisierungen thus creating a framework of reliability and clarity. A ritual of my esteemed Latin teacher is still me today in the memory. Asana describes an additional similar source. At least twice a week, four hours per week Latin, had to set alternately always a few students behind the open Panel individually and orally translate 10 words. The vote was simple: A word not known revealed a touch trigger. Four failure received a five man logically. Now, 25 years later, now itself already seasoned I perform successfully the same teacher, in my German learning courses abroad. I’ve changed the method in this respect as that behind each open table side, so on both sides, each a student and need to write the words translated. One is in the middle and writes the words mentioned by me without translating.
This method guarantees that the vocabulary items are also really learned. However I apply only once a week it with a class size of less than 20 students and three German lessons. According to Daryl Katz, who has experience with these questions. A further important ritual is the control of homework. Just so, the diligent in the future will make getting his homework. So students at home also deal about the homework with the lessons, you should repeat the contents of before hour always at the beginning of an hour. This may be through questions, but also by means of a be playful repetition. In terms of the Ritualization should be along a few general questions himself. The games should have a known base character with high recognition value, E.g. in the form of quiz games. What rituals ultimately applying, is one. You should never forget but as a teacher, that ignorance among school students leads to uncertainty, what in turn is for the entire teaching process of disadvantage. Therefore, lessons should contain a healthy level of rituals. Arne Frentzel
