I checked out Brittiney Gardner's blog about what presentation she liked the best. She really liked think tac toe and learning menus and gave some fabulous ideas. I especially liked the one on the think tac toe of working with character, setting, and theme. I would like keep in touch with Britt after school but she is a brain I'd like to pick!
I then read Kj's blog from the other cohort. I read her blog #4. I can tell she is going to be a great teacher I really like how she says she wants to take the time to call student's parents to let them know how well their child is doing. Sometimes it is not enough to just work on the students weaknesses, we need to acknowledge their strengths too. Think of how much that would mean to a student and their parents if you called them up just to praise them on being such a great student.
You are absolutely right... in fact, I'd like to see LOTS more of working from students' strengths and a lot LESS of working at their weaknesses! 4p points
