Kinesthetic Learning in English Classes?
I was pleased to see that I already incorporate a wide range of teaching delivery methods for my students. However, the one learning style that I am missing is kinesthetic. I currently use lecture, small group discussion, class discussion, power points, in class writings, reading stories aloud, and student presentations in the English classes I teach. Does anyone have any suggestions of ways that I could incorporate a more kinesthetic approach to learning in my class?

Hands on projects.. Like stated before, Looking trhough books or magazines, I like collages that get them to read, then cut out and apply. Anything that involves them using their hands to complete goals can help...

I like to have students group and look for certain things in magazines; for example, I have them find examples of participle phrases, gerunds, etc. This project allows them to use visual, auditory, written word, and tactile learning.
