NATA COACHING : LEARNING BY DOING FIRST
How do we explain the concept of structure to a student?
Believe me, talking about it or theory does not help majority of the students.
But practicals work well.

Task : Learning to arrange random objects of everyday use in a stable structure. The students were divided into groups and given the above task.
