Sharing what we've read with our peers and classmates is one of the best ways to enhance our understanding about the literature. We can either share with partners or a small group of members. Through small-group activity students can share their experience with the other group members and it can further their understanding of those experiences. It also provides students with the opportunity to encourage and support the efforts of each other as the students explore the ideas, concepts and experiences in their reading.
Through my own experience as a teacher, students prefer group activity more than individual tasks. This is because; they will feel more confident as they get support from other group members upon completing their tasks.
When the students are discussing about YAL in the group they can share their opinions about the book, the characters, the theme and even the overall understanding of the book. This can lead to their better understandings on the YAL.
Other than that, teachers can also use other approach to help students gain better understanding like having a learning partner. Sometimes having learning partners is more beneficial as they are closer to each other and they share many things together.
The students can share with each other their learning or serve as peer editors, discuss what they are reading, recommended book to each other, or develop creative projects together. The benefit of having this kind of activity is that the students can gain trust and an increase level of cooperation with each other. Other than that, they can have mutual responsibilities and needs; therefore, the level of commitment and involvement will be high.
