Well, to add to the "teaching tricks:"
We have a set of slides which give the benefits of breastfeeding - the trouble
is, they are in English and my audience mostly speaks Spanish (although most CAN
read English, they don't do it easily).
Well, as we had the slides - and since I wanted to change the focus (per Diane)
from the "benefits of Breastfeeding" to the "Risks of ABM" - I asked my
audience, mostly Nursing Students and Nurses who work at a Community Health
Center - to translate each slide into Spanish - but with the ABM focus. It
worked so very well! They had fun calling out the "corrections", and I added
facts and figures rather than reading to them that which they could
read/translate for themselves. (Which is always a pet peeve of mine.) The only
slide they had trouble with was SIDS (as in Spanish, SIDA is AIDS, I had to
explain this was Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or "Muerte Repentina de Cuna.")
