Using a Variety

I think it is easy for all of use to get use to our old methods of teaching ,because we are comfortable with them we know them backward and forward. When we continue to do this though the students get bored and start to become disinterested. then the behavior problems will usually follow. When we learn to incorporate new teaching skills we can pass this along to our students they become even more interested and sometimes even get more out of it. I know this year I Incorporated using sheets of foam that the students can cut out and create 3-D models for hair and skin structure. The students loved doing this and in doing so I think they retained more information than they would have. While they built their models they all kept saying how much fun they were having and they would like to more activities like this one. I did it on a slim shot that the students would think it was a kindergarten activity but, I did one to show them that it was possible and so they would have an example of what I expected. I will try to my best to use more of these types of activites when teaching stuctures.
