Question

You might get into trouble for talking in class, but experts have found that talking to your classmates can be helpful. “Students should be encouraged to explain things to each other and to discuss things,” they say. What helps you to learn? Do you like working in groups or do you prefer working on your own? Are there times when it's good to talk in a lesson?
