Chapter 7

This chapter connected with me because I feel that it is important to challenge your students and allow them to have some kinetic energy, not just potential. Bobby Bowden once said "Don't go to the grave with unused life." I think a student shouldn't go through a semester with unused brain. You have to keep their minds stimulated. I had my mentor teacher read to students out of a book. The students hated it and learned nothing. They zoned out completely. Why? There was no challenge presented nothing for them to even have to try and think about. We need to give students that challenge, not just busy work.
