Give it a go!Give it a go!
Some will work better in practical or theory lessons
Try 1 – in wont go perfect first time… evaluate it and try it again…
Some you will not like, try another one!Once your students are familiar with the
structure and understand the principle, the students do all the work.
You can ensure ALL students are engaged and making progress…No ‘Hitchhiking’
