Quick Challenge (For Tool #6): Teach Someone

If you have done this one in class, good job. We hope that you think that teaching a topic is a good way for the roots of knowledge to grow deeper in your mind.

Now you could try it out again. Teach something that you're currently learning. (Before you begin, if want to watch a video or get some more background on the technique, be sure to check out the post for Tool #6.)

Give yourself a set amount of time to prepare a lesson to teach your topic. If it's a small topic, try to teach it in just a minute or two. If it's bigger, give yourself about five minutes to teach it. It's a good idea to keep your teaching to a short amount of time. This will force you to be clear and efficient, using simple explanations.

Now, how did it go? After you do it, why not post a comment below so that others can benefit from your experience.
