At the beginning of the geography recitation say, “I am going to try a
new plan in the lesson today. Let us see if I can tell who knows his
lessons by the way he looks instead of by the raising of his hand.”
Be sure to give as many of the children an opportunity to recite as you
can—all if possible.
At the beginning of the next recitation say, “The plan we tried
yesterday worked so well, I believe we will try it for the whole day.”
