There were several suggestions for each of the Engage, Study and Activate phases. This test itself provided even more ideas.The basic structure of a typical lesson should begin with an Engage phase and end with an activate stage. I have also learnt that there are benefits and disadvantages of one to one classes and group classes and the problems can be addressed. In the classroom, the teacher must be ready to be any of the following; the instructor, facilitator, policeman, psychologist and counsellor.
