One method is for the instructor to mark key words in the text and develop the ability to glance at a page section and put it in his/her own words. Some "reading dominant" instructors are even able to do this without marking the text or can mark it as they go through it. This allows the instructor to "translate" the text into simplified language. This makes it more conversational. The instructor can also ask questions such as: Isn't that really what it means?" This gives the students the opportunity to speak up and agree or ask a question in a more conversational way. Another method is to use a video with many "bullet" points. The instructor can freeze the DVD at the points and discuss them with the class. They can be restated--put in other words--as well. David Leon Cooper, MS (Ed Adm)
