• Ensuring that Students Have Understood the Topic
  
• Discussion among Students Students can help each
  other by explaining the topic to each other. This
  is especially beneficial for active learners
• Reviewing the topic The teacher can stop midway
  to review if students have understood the topic.
  This is helpful for reflective learners
• Preparing pictures and flowcharts A visual
  representation of the subject helps students to
  understand better. This method is helpful for
  visual learners.

  experience and understand a subject from the
  inside.

• Shifting the Focus from Knowing to Understanding
• Why Should I Learn Learning happens only when
  students are convinced that the subject can be
  applied in the real world. Puzzles and games can
  be used to explain the context of a subject.
• Project based learning There need not be a
  single answer or a single approach to a subject.
  Teachers can guide students to take drastically
  different approaches towards a topic and find
  their own answers.
• Doing work that matters Students writing a book
  about the local ecosystem, designing the
  classroom setup, develop ideas about local
  issues, are all examples of getting students to
  do work that matters.

  taught about effects of smoking, alcoholism and
  withstanding peer pressure.
