Analogy of Student and Teacher

The relationship of a student to a teacher is analogous to a guide book. In this analogy the student chooses the destination/topic of focus and the author a.k.a. teacher highlights, points out and describes the areas of focus, mapping out points and landmarks along the way.

In this analogy, the student plays an active role in reading, planning and navigating his or her adventure thereby sharing the responsibly of teaching and increasing the level of retention.

What are ways in which you activate the classroom by engaging your students in the process of teaching?
