D. Compare and Contrast
January 31st, 2010
Comparisons and the contrasting of ideas, situations, motivations, and information are stock-in-trade for teaching all subjects.

Besides that, the hidden benefit of promoting the reinforcement of ideas, insights and concepts by the use of Comparison and Contrast activities yields tremendous incidental learning.
