Chapter 7

This chapter really made me think of my practicum teacher. Every lesson is literally having the students sit down and read from the text for almost an hour. Students will sit down in class and read/ take notes then take a quiz using their notes. There is no thinking, it's just the most boring thing ever. Students need a change of pace, if students don't have a chance to do something different, to really get out there and have a chance to think they're going to shut down. In order to keep students available to learn we need to encourage them to think, to encourage them to look at things from new and unusal perspectives.
