One of the activities that can be used in the visual arts to learn the mathematics subjects

is through the viewing of videos. It is possible to use the videos to make the students learn how

some of the problems can be solved. For instance, the video can be used to learn the manner in

which to perform basic calculations such as additions and subtraction by the use of tangible

items. The instructional strategy that is used in this case will be the use of the graphical or visual

organizer strategy, where the learners will sit down and watch the video for a given time. While

watching the video, the teacher will be explaining the various learning points that the students

are expected to learn from the video (Brouillette, 2009). Watching the video as a learning

activity will assist the learners to understand the performance of the basic mathematical

operations visually, as opposed to the language that the teacher uses while giving the instructions

in class.

Part C

Music is a tool that can be used to help in the learning of language. One of the

instructional strategies in using music to teach language is the cooperative strategy. The activity

will include directly engaging the learners in the preparation of various words that will then be

used form sentences. The words that the learners will use will be coming be expected to be

coming from a certain thematic area in the nation such as the importance of work for nation

building. The sentences will then be used by the students to makes various phrases that can be

used to form music verses. The teacher will then to compose a song from the phrases that the

leaners will have made up and then let them sing the song for repetitively until everyone in the

class will be in a position to pronounce the words correctly.

The importance of using the cooperative strategy in music to teach some words in a

language is that it is the learners who will have come up with the words that will have been used

to compose the music. Therefore, they will be in a better position to understand the words the

meaning of the music that they will be singing (Marsh, Sloan McCombs, & Martorell, 2010).

Besides, it will make the students be compliant in class and attentive to other words that other

students will be giving in class. In the process, there will be a likelihood that some of the words

the learners will be giving will be new to other learners and therefore, it will be a chance for

other learners in the class to learn the new words. The pronunciation of words by the learners

may be very different among the learners and therefore a chance for the teacher to give the

correct pronunciation for words pronounced wrongly by the learners. Finally, the singing in class

will make each of the learners remember each of the words that will have been introduced during

the activity.

Part D

Dancing can be used in the learning of social studies. The activity in the class will be the

identification of the various ethnic groups of the students represented in a class by the learners.

The representative of the learners from each of the ethnic groups will be requested to dance for

the rest class using the traditional way they do it in their respective groups (Borman, Dorn &

Project Muse, 2007). Through each of the representative students dancing, they will help more

about their culture and therefore learn about the other people’s cultures. The best instructional

strategy, in this case, will be the free exploration strategy. Through this strategy, the teacher will

be able to observe what the manner of each student’s way of dancing, and will, therefore, be in a

position to examine the various culture that the students introduce to other students and even

explain them in a better way.

Part E

Theatre can be used in the study of science. One of the activities that can be carried out in

the studies involve the media the action of a play reflecting the roles of the early scientists in the

early and act to display some of the activities that these scientists carried out. The instructional

strategy used will be the use of the guided activity, where the teacher will be guiding the learners

as they perform the play. Through the use of the guidance, the teacher will be in a position that

some of the important points that he or she wants the students to understand are not bypassed in

the play. The learners will, therefore, be able to get some of the scientific concepts that the

teacher intended them to get to grasp form the play.
