What is your teaching philosophy?
TPR- Total Physical Response. The fastest way to stimulate the mind is to move the body. I can use a charades game to act out story to teach "summarizing". I can use a beach ball with key comprehension questions to ask. The student is responsible to answer the question where his/her thumb landed. I also use Kagan Strategies, such as rolling of the dice, round-robin, Jig-Saw, etc.
