 * Confusion is the start of learning**

When you feel confused you are beginning to learn. Your brain is assembling neural pathways and making connections to other experiences in you life. With persistence, the pathways become stronger, faster, the initial confusion disappears and you become smarter. It is worth persisting, you will have more knowledge and skills at your finger tips for having done so.

At the end of each lesson write what you have learnt or revised and explain this verbally to your partner. Reflect also on what you will need to do to maintain your newly acquired knowledge. Writing and explaining will help you build stronger and faster neural pathways.
