Have a mentor read over a class discussion topic and understand it fully, then take an entire class period to explain it out to their class. This should be done without much stopping or slowing down in an attempt to keep the students highly engaged. Note takers should instead be given the link to the class day material so that they can stay with the mentor as they teach.
