In this picture there are two of my students working side by side...the student on the right is a very auditory learner and he is also advanced...the student on the left is also an auditory learner; however, he is very low performing. By placing these two next to one another they are able to help each other. They both listen, but can be distracted by other things going on in the room. My advanced student is very good about helping to reiterate something I've said if my lower performing student misses something. This also allows him to assume a "teaching" position which gives him even more confidence about the material we are covering. We played a quiz game today to review for our test that we are having tomorrow...when it came time for my low performing student's turn, he nonchalantly said, "I'm going to get it wrong, I don't know anything." I was so proud when he was able to not only answer his question correctly, but explain it! (Just thought I would add in that last little note.)
