Unless students are actively using what they are taught, most of them would remember only a small fraction of the content presented in class. A lecture where students are simply asked to take notes may be an efficient way to deliver a wealth of information, it is however an inefficient way to intrigue them. In this sense, it is better to get students to study collaboratively in class, as it encourages constant reflections.
词汇积累
Intrigue 激起... 好奇心
a small fraction 碎片化的
如下两段思路：
【大前提】学生上课必须要不断保持积极思考，因为否则的话他们很容易分心，也容易变得厌烦。
【小前提】老师不断讲课， 学生被动地机械的记讲的内容;不思考，一无所知，回去也懒得看;更糟糕的是，专注于笔记的记录而不是知识的吸收和体会。
【小前提对比】小组讨论，学生积极思考; 头脑风暴，激发创造力。总之就是学会了。

Students need to keep reflecting in class, because they may otherwise be absentminded or jaded, which would certainly hinder learning. To find an approach whereby such mental state can be avoided, we can first consider how to weary students of the class, and it must be teachers who keep lecturing and asking students to note everything down who can successfully accomplish this task. This is because without reflection, students, who are prone to tuning out, can hardly digest what they write on their notebooks. Worse, when they fail to juggle note-taking with absorbing the knowledge, which is highly likely, nothing would be achieved.

absentminded adj. 心不在焉的
juggle v. 同时兼顾
digest v. 领悟 理解(知识等)

By marked contrast, teaching will be much more effective if students are allowed to discuss with their classmates. First, unlike learning in isolation where discouragement or a sense of hopelessness may set in, learning becomes more enjoyable when friends are able to help or motivate one another. Second, doing problem solving exercises in small groups, students may actively engage with the material being covered in class, which entails full understanding of the corresponding knowledge imparted. Third, brainstorming ideas for an open question with peers, students’ creativity may be sparked by the collision of ideas that come from different perspectives. In short, none of those activities may make students feel stale, and all of them help students study better.
词汇积累
stale adj. 腻烦的
spark v. 激发，引发
collision n. 对立看法间的碰撞

Admittedly, class discussion, at first glance, is distracting, especially for students who find idle chit-chat more interesting. In this case, students should be discouraged from discussing with each other in class. A closer look, however, suggest that it is the teachers, but not the method itself, who should be responsible for those digressions. In other words, teachers can do much more than simply assigning group tasks. They can also intervene by giving clear instructions and continuous supervisions to stop students from digressing.
本段思路
让步段后置。可能会有人觉得学生课堂讨论会讨论别的不相关的事情。但是老师也不是摆设呀，老师可以intervene。于是这个问题被避免了，别烦了，剩下的都是好处了。
词汇积累
idle chit-chat 漫无目的的闲聊
digression n. 离题，脱轨
digress vi.离题
