In this activity we were to read up on Vygotsky's Understanding of Cognitive Development and brainstorm on ways to include opportunities for verbalizing and dialogue in teaching. Some very interesting points were made that I can use in my teaching. For example someone raised the hangman game. I recall I had a lot of fun with that when I was a student.
Quotes from my reading:
Vygotsky (1978)
Speaking can lead to links being made to past, present and future.
Speaking can also lead to us becoming more clear about our needs and to our planning of actions.
Vygotsky (1962) "Every sentence we say in real life has some kind of subtext, a thought hidden behind it”
