Try to do mind mapping of whatever topic you are studying. For example, if the topic is "LITERACY," circle that topic and make some questions for that topic, i.e., 1.WHAT is literacy? 2.HOW can literacy be built? 3.WHERE does literacy start? 4.WHO is taking steps to increase literacy? 5.WHICH country has the highest literacy rate?

You should read what you have to until you begin to lose your concentration. Then take a ten minute break. Then go back and read more. Then take another break. In this way you will have done all your reading in a concentrated way.

Seat Students at Tables
I seat my students in groups of four or five at tables. This allows students to face each other and interact in positive ways. Students can work together in a cooperative manner. Also, it is easier for me to manage their behavior since I have to monitor several groups rather than twenty-five to thirty students.
Return Work Quickly
Grade and return work to students as quickly as possible. The greater the interval between a student handing in and receiving graded work, the less impact your feedback will have.
