Quick Response: Chapter Seven

This chapter was by far the most infulential chapter of them all. It gave incredibly helpful insights into actually classroom strategies that could help students actually learn and relate to the material. The part I especially related to was the section of not sticking exactly to the book. The students gave suggestions such as giving supplemental reading, giving textbooks excerpts from other country's textbooks and relating the subject to everyday life. I particularly liked the idea of giving excerpts from other nation's textbooks for a history class because of different views of an episode such as a American Revolution, it really puts things in perspective. I especially liked this part of the book because my mentor teacher in the schools really stuck to the book in terms of the content, section by section, and chapter by chapter and it really bored me just for the time I was there. I cannot imagine what it would be like for the entire year.
