not chewing on anything now.....

I think it is safe to say that I never want to eat fast food again....not even fast food, but any food that I have ever liked is not no so appealing to me. Besides that reaction, I did like how the book was written. I found that even with the enormous amount of statistics, I was still interested in what the authors had to say. The information was made relevant to almost any consumer, including children. It made me think, again, how important it is to make the information we teach more interesting to the student. I've heard many of teachers say that the students are at school to learn, not have fun. Why can't they have fun while the learn?

As a side note, my lit group met Wednesday after class to complete our podcast. I really like the dynamics of our group and how we all came together to put a different twist on the podcast. Everyone had awesome opinions to add to the group and we built on each other's ideas. There was excitement in our group and again I pondered on how I can transfer that same excitement to my teaching and to my students' learning.
