Teacher Kang s reading Commentary on Article 98 of Advice to Teachers .

Experienced teachers, before starting their teaching work, arrange the content of the active activities that students engage in throughout the teaching phase of the subject (or in primary school, the entire primary school stage).

In addition to cultivating students' practical skills necessary for life and work, it is also a teaching system in which students' thinking and speech are developed through their active activities, first of all, for intellectual education. (I propose an outstanding activity.) According to the translator's note, it refers to some practical activities that students are assigned to engage in when teaching a subject.

How to organize students' active activities to promote students' intellectual development, promote their thinking and speech development, and improve their reading and writing skills?

Being active is like a place to combine words and thoughts.

Connecting bridges.

What I want to achieve is to demand the generation of ideas in labor, not just the consolidation of what I have learned in class.

For example, each student cultivates a fruit tree over the course of several years of study.

In this process of cultivation he constantly made new "discoveries", some new ideas excited him, and he spoke these thoughts;

Words became the means and tools for him to express the various relationships and interconnected ideas he found in his labor, and the words entered his reserve of active vocabulary, so that his emotions and thinking were honed.

The pupil who is fascinated by an interesting labour, in which he constantly reveals relations and interconnections, cannot be confused in his thoughts, nor dull in his words, for he is not only laboring, but also thinking, inferring causal signs, and planning his future work.

With each passing year, I am more convinced that active activities with a distinct expression of thought can develop students' speech and improve their general literacy.

Labor can only play its due role in the intellectual development of the student if it begins in the first days after the student's start, and is well thought out.

This kind of labor is not simply for the purpose of illustrating knowledge, but it can be said to be the utilization of knowledge.

If you want your students to become good thinkers, and if you want to make the rigorous, definite, and logical order of thinking expressed through clear explanations and explanations, then you should attract them to participate in the work of thought, and to reflect in the work the relations and interconnections of the knowledge system. Please remember that labor is not only some practical skills and techniques, but first and foremost a kind of intellectual development, a kind of thinking and speech literacy.
