Teamwork Take turns drawing the parts of a boat until your sailboat is complete. As you draw each part, ask your partner for the name and definition of each part. When you are ready, practice drawing a boat by yourself without your partner. Label the parts and review the definitions. When you are both done, compare your drawings and check each other’s work.

PowerTeaching The task is not to do, but to learn

We Learn: 10% of what we read. 20% of what we hear. 30% of what we see. 50% of what we both see and hear. 70% of what is discussed with others. 80% of what we experience personally. 95% of what we teach to someone else. -William Glasser
