Kinesthetic Learners These learners will benefit from handling the flash cards.

Teaching Tips When a student suggests a word that is not actually a term, this provides a good time to discuss how not all poten- tial word combinations are actual medical terms. For example, a student ©2013 by Pearson Education, Inc. Wingerd, Lesson Plans for Medical Terminology Complete!, 2/e might suggest tonsilloplasty or gas- trolysis. These words follow the rules for building a term, but are not actual medical terms. Make sure students re- alize that this will be very frustrating at first, but with practice, they will make fewer and fewer mistakes. Critical Thinking Questions 1. Do you know how you learn best? What type of learner do you think you are, and why? 2. What other ways can you think of besides flash cards that might help you learn the new terms?

Classroom Activities Form teams in class if there is time, and perform flash card drills in pairs. Go through the entire stack of flash cards once with each student, setting aside any cards that were missed or were difficult for that student.
