WRITING TIP
Remember that adverb clauses do not always need to come at the

beginning of a sentence. In fact, it can become boring if the writer always puts
them in the same place. Try to vary your writing by changing the position of the

adverb clauses, putting some at the beginning and some later in your sentences.

How Do People Learn Best?

How do people learn best? There is not one answer since much depends
on individual learning styles and needs. Over 300 years ago, however, the noted

inventor Benjamin Franklin made some observations regarding learning that still
hold true for a great many learners today: "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I

remember. Involve me and I learn." Imagine that you are learning how to fold a

paper airplane. Before you ever pick up a piece of paper, the person says the
following:

1. Take a piece of paper.
2. Fold it in half.

3. Open the paper.
4. Look at the crease in the middle.

5. Now take one corner and fold it down along the crease.
