The educational power of the teacher is greatly enhanced by associating the
lesson material on the hands of the student.
Classroom exercises together have tremendous impact.
Students who remember every keyword excel in such
sessions.
There is re-enforcement for the student who did not remember the lesson.
This easy exercise
of the whole class leads to memorization.
