It’s a good tool to begin the new units with a brief introduction and when it’s finished is recommended to do a summary of everything.

If the activity they have done is wrong, you have to explain orally how they must solve it.

They can discuss with other students about a topic.

It’s also helpful to create an environment that allows the student to participate actively and ask questions.
