I maintained clear communication and displayed a strong subject knowledge. By using good probing questions during the lesson, I made certain that the learners understood the content well, while constant Q&A and praise kept everyone engaged. I used the compare and contrast method to facilitate the session, which made it easier for some learners to come to their own conclusions, as well as gave...
