other too.) answers on the board
Graphic Organizers: Graphic organizers are some of the most effective
visual learning strategies for students and are applied across the curriculum
to enhance learning and understanding of subject matter content.

students proceed from general to particular. Students are given formula and they
solve problems using them.

students have already learnt in the previous classes and hence what is it that
they would learn now. They would also be told the significance of the topic
