I am definitely going to try what you were mentioning in your blog. Thank you for that information and I will let you know how it worked out.Emmanuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00408053256175022014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-52796139987047580812013-10-29T13:29:11.247-04:002013-10-29T13:29:11.247-04:00That is a great approach!

I did use a similar style last year keeping the class together on projects and conquering lessons as a single unit. It created a comfortable atmosphere and transferred over to this year. For some reason my new students aren't there. I haven't been able to unite this class. I believe it has a lot to do with my heavy load this year, and my lack of knowledge in the new curriculum.

I totally agree if we can show the kids how our program can benefit them in life, they will be much more apt to buy into it.

I would think to a certain extent it gives the students some reassurance that this class is not going to be a waste of time for them. I believe once they see the postives of all of possibilities of the class, then their interest should be drawn in just enough for them to be open-minded. It only takes that one "light bulb" moment for them to say, "Hey maybe this won't be so bad!"Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344797112988942811noreply@blogger.com
