Students are actively learning when they are intensely engaged, mentally and/or physically. Active learning, say the authors of this book, is vigorous, lively, energetic, strong and effective; it is learning that takes place when learners are excited, involved, mentally alert and caught up in the experience. This book, by American educationalists, aims to assist primary school teachers in improving lesson quality and illuminates approaches to learning. It sets out measurable objectives, step-by-step procedures and enrichment activities to provide - or inspire - structure for lessons in maths, languages, social studies and art.
