Ten Little Rubber Ducks

SIMPLE LEARNING WITH “TEN LITTLE RUBBER DUCKS” BY ERIC CARLE

INTRODUCTION

“Ten little rubber ducks” will be the matter of the teaching activities I’m going to develop for the Children’s literature for teaching to young learner’s class. The point of the work will be seen from the basic activities of songs, jazz chants and basic cognition activities which develop not only fast recognition abilities and artistic abilities, but rhythmic abilities that will be held together and shown in class.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

To demonstrate that three basic activities are enough to encourage the kid to develop good rhythmic skills and fast apprehension of new simple information.

METHODOLOGY

I´m going to choose the children’s book: Ten little rubber ducks, and with it I´m going to create three activities to do them on class. The three activities are: one jazz chant, one paper sheet with activities to stimulate the brain, and one song.

POPULATION

This project goes for kids in fourth grade. This could be kids between the ages of eight and ten.

RESOURSES

The book “Ten little rubber ducks” by Eric Carle and an audio record of the book.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Problem: Will the Ten little rubber ducks activity work as motivator to learn and play at the same time?

Hypothesis: It’s going to work. It’s been proven that kids who play while learn tend to be more intelligent and open.

CONCLUSIONS

Developing the activities made me realize there are so many things you can do with kids to have fun and learn anything at the same time. I’ve also thought on the capacity these activities to work, and one realize that there is no risk on the activities, because children will learn from everything.
