Active Learning Emotional Literacy Workbook

Active learning allows for students to participate when they are doing something, rather than just passively listening. The Active Learning Emotional Literacy Workbook contains many creative activities for teachers to make active learning work for them and their classroom. 

Why Is Active Learning Important?

Many young people suffer from short attention spans and can get bored easily, especially if they are just being talked at. Students need to do more than just listen in the classroom, they need to read, write, discuss and be completely engaged in solving problems. This makes for motivated students and an energetic learning environment.

What Are Some Examples of Active Learning?

Examples of active learning include:

• Class discussion
• Pair work
• Collaborative group work
• Short written exercises
• Class games
