Would abstract be a game like jeoperdy or is the concrere??

A verbal review before tests seem to help the student not on the same day but ongoing about the work in which they must retain.This goes over the technique in which they must learn to be a master at the technique at hand on the level there at.

I often go to the work station and watch what the student is preparing and whne it's good .i make a big positive deal about the success.When they need help i offer it in a way where it's sincere.This is a great way to show the student I care they do well.

I have also found if you use the students name and ask a leading question it can really break the ice

Today I taught a lesson by breaking down the techniques using the technical techniques of each item and putting it together DIFFERENTLY,I still had each component of the dishes I prepared just not biult the same.I stayed true to the preparation technique,This showed the students how to take a classic and put a twist on it staying true to the classic technique,The students loved it and payed more attention to it.I beleive because it showed them how to take what they learned and use it in real life.!!!

I find that retention is sometimes frustrating,I make sure when a student is absent that when he or she comes back I ask how he or she is doing.I let them know if they need anything or if I can help with anything let me know because we missed them.This acknoledgement shows the student you care and I really do.I want all my students to show up everyday and I also explain why that is importnat to them as far as there grade but more importantly how it is important in the working world.Scott Cohen
