My classes are always very participatory because I believe that the more you participate in the learning, the more you are able to grab the content of the what is being disscussed.
I always prefer my students to first freshen up first by doing vigorous exercises like dancing, running , jogging and so own. This help to freshen them up and make their minds ready for learning.
My classes are full of demonstrations, presentation and group disscusions. I do less lecturing especiall within 30 minutes to 1 hour. The rest of my class is full of participatory methods where all the learners are engaged. This prevent them fro sleeping or loosing concentration.
