I like to use the modern day version of the Socratic method of instruction. It's called the Columbo Technique.
1. I get the student engaged with casual questions regarding the example I'm demonstrating.
2. When the student finally relaxes, I have them explain what I did.
3. Before I move on, I ask them on last thing: What's the answer used for? That's how I lead into the next chapter of the text book.
Any other Columbo's out there?
