just like they are for you.
Teacher is always telling
us to sit up and stop
chattering. So this is
what my class came up
with to help our teacher out.
It’s called the
chatterbox approach
Most of us have messed around with chatterboxes of some sort or
another and are familiar with the fun way in which they have been
used to communicate jokes, feelings and messages. Chatterboxes
are fun. They are easy to make and are fun to play with and construct.
The chatterbox can be positively used as a most effective teaching
and learning tool.
The chatterbox encompasses most of the multiple intelligences in its
use.

Visual and Spatial                 Use of colour, patterns and diagrams.
Verbal linguistic                    Writing, discussion, description.
Logical mathematical            Patterns, logical procedures and sequences.
Kinaesthetic                          Construction, hands on, movement.
Interpersonal                         Sharing, teamwork, discussion.
Intrapersonal                         Reflection, personal experiences.

The chatterbox is ideally suited for the Visual, Audio or Kinaesthetic
learner.
The chatterboxes are fun to make either as a team initiative or as a
personal/ individual response or task. There is ownership in their
fabrication and the process and the outcomes involved. The
chatterbox can be used as a personal reflective tool or as a team or
shared reflection process. It can be used as a re-enforcement tool or
to investigate strategies or consolidate an idea or direction.

All this jargon just tells you that we know what we are talking about.
See we have been listening in class despite our chattering.
In putting this program
together we have
worked within the
guidelines of the
Department of
Education and training.
