This is an example of the whole-language approach.

Explanation:

The whole-language approach focuses on developing a child's metacognition, more than just on reading or writing skills. It centers on making the child think about what he/she is doing, more than just getting something done.

In this case, more than just singing and reading about insects, the students put what they have learnt to use in order ro create something more from it, not just staying in knowing about insects from the article but actually creating their own poems about bugs.
