CHAPTER XIX
METHODS OF THE RECITATION
OUTLINE--CHAPTER XIX
The question of method raised.--Danger of an entire disregard of
method.--The case of the "born" teacher.--Sound pedagogy largely a
matter of common sense.--Danger of being committed to a single
method.--The five possible methods: The Story Method; Reading
'Round; The Special Topic; The Lecture; The Discussion.
Two of the most practical questions that a teacher ever has to solve
are:
How shall I go about to prepare a lesson?
Having prepared a lesson, how shall I set about to teach it to my class?
The first of these questions has already been discussed in preceding
chapters; the second now calls for our consideration.
Is there a _one best method_? If so, what is it? What steps does it
involve? Instead of answering these questions directly, perhaps it will
be better to point out the various methods of the recitation, set down
their characteristics and relative values, and then formulate a
conclusion.
