ASSIGNMENT PASSAGE:

Because television, videotapes, and other visual aids are a more entertaining and attention-grabbing medium of communication according to most students, schools should employ this source much more and lectures and reading much less. Students are more likely to watch curriculum materials than to read about similar materials for the reason that watching is a much quicker and more fun way to learn concepts. Since the evidence of countless surveys show that students would rather watch a film in class than listen to a lecture, a video curriculum would have immediate appeal and success. In response to those who are critical of the idea, viewing the presentation of a concept and then writing it down in notebooks stimulates two areas of the brain, the visual and the motor, which research shows are more conducive to the successful memorization of learning materials.
