Narration is a method of familiarizing a student with a particular topic in two steps. In the first step, you exposure the student to the content, and in the second step, you ask them tell back in their own words what they took from the content. These steps allow the student's mind to assimilate the information. Enjoy listening to the podcast to go deeper into the topic of narration. You can find more information about narration in an e-book on the Educational Renaissance website: http://educationalrenaissance.com/  Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music
