SET UP INDIVIDUAL CONFERENCES
Extroverted students may find it easy to raise their hand and ask a
question, but introverted students will often be too shy or scared to do so.
Take time every few weeks to do individual conferences with students so
they can quietly discuss what they enjoy about the classroom and what
they might be struggling with. Make sure all students participate, so no
one feels singled out. A teacher would not want to make a student feel like
they are being punished by talking to the teacher one on one.
ASSIGN AN INTROVERT-EXTROVERT
PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT
This is the perfect project for the introverts in a classroom, as it gives
the introvert an opportunity to think not only individually and
independently but also reflectively. It is a creative assignment that will be
enjoyed by everyone, but it will help an introvert to excel and understand
the subject matter even more. For instance, when studying the
environment, ask students to photograph some objects around their home
that can be reduced, reused and recycled to create a more eco-friendly
environment.
CREATE A GROUP PROJECT THAT
REQUIRES SMALLER GROUPS
Introverted students prefer to work on their own, but in reality all people
have to learn to work together at some point. Instead of dividing the
classroom into two large groups to perform a play, create several smaller
groups of two or three people. Teachers should ask these students to
come up with some dialog for a play together. This helps an introvert feel
more comfortable in the company of just a few people, but also teaches
them the importance of working as a team as well.
