To achieve the objective of research was adopted, a researcher of experimental design is exactly equal groups, partial, chosen for this intentional sample of grade average in high school (the boys) of the Directorate-General for education of Karbala for the purpose of applying experience during the academic year (2013-2014).

   Total sample search (75) students and (35) of the experimental group called the interactive teaching strategy and (35) of the control group, students studied the way (traditional).
