What should the teacher do? Correct Answer Tell Students to discuss and give reasons why it is not safe to drink water from the river directly

Discussion methods are a variety of open-ended, collaborative exchanges of ideas between a teacher and students or between students with the goal of improving students' thinking, learning, problem-solving, understanding, or literally appreciation.

Key Points

Importance of discussion in the classroom:

• It is an oral method similar to the question-answer method. Students' ability to think and communicate can be developed.
• Leadership and communication skills both can be improved. It also aids in the development of children's creative abilities.
• The student's attitude and enthusiasm for learning can be elicited.
• Classroom discussion can help you achieve higher-level cognitive and effective goals.
• It helps the teacher in understanding and assessing students thinking.
• It shifts the authority from the teacher or textbook to the children.
