Rephrasing (saying the same thing in different ways) will maximize the chances that every student will eventually understand. The repetition helps students to remember the main ideas, and offers a chance for the different learning styles get comfortable with what you present to them.
For example: your goal for a lesson may be to explain a lead departure. Different types of rephrasing could include (but are not limited to):
- a verbal explanation of how the horse balances and strikes off into a lead
- a demonstration of a horse departing in a lead
- a tactile exercise asking students to stand beside their horses and move their legs and hands as if to cue for a lead departure.
- asking ‘what if?’ questions to help the analyzers in the class think through the process
- time to practice and get feedback
- offering a worksheet with visual content about the lead departure process
This type of rephrasing keeps the class focused on the main points of the lesson, the repetition helps students to remember, and the variety in the presentation engages the different learning styles.
