Hi Alice, I think that presenting the mistake as a serious
learning opportunity for everyone to benefit from is a
great angle to use in the class room.
A student that makes a mistake and is then made to feel
supported and gratified in realising that their mistake is
actually a worthwhile contribution to class learning is a
great tactic and will make the student feel like they are
an integral part of the learning process and encourage a
team culture even though the result in the end is based on
individual effort.
