I am new to teaching and havent had to do any lecture. what I teach is 95% hands-on. I like to have fun with it though and ask questions throughout the evening and during classroom clean-up to ensure they are grasping each days lesson. I am finding that every new rotation of students that come through I automatically pay close attention to what I do that works and if it doesnt I do it differently the next time until I find something that captures their attention more.I am a big fan of utilizing "props" you might say to give them more visuals of what we are working on.
