Kinesthetic LearnersThese learners will benefit from handling the flashcards.

Critical Thinking Questions1. Do you know how you learn best? What type of

learner do you think you are and why?2. What other ways can you think of besides flash

cards that might help you learn the new terms?

AssignmentAssign one term per student to teach to anotherstudent.

Each One Teach One Strategy ApplicationThis retention strategy and teaching tool rolled intoone is based upon two major points:1. A student must fully understand a concept before

he or she can teach or explain it to another.2. The more a student is fully involved in the learning

process with others, the more successful he/shebecomes as a student.

In this chapter, ask each student to identify adifficult concept. Then, have each student explainthe concept to a second student. Examples from thischapter might include:1. What is the difference between a word root and a

combining form?2. Give an example of a singular ending changing to a

plural ending.

Study TipPair up with another student for review of terms.
