Memorable Lessons

Questioning whether something that is taught is always learnt will always be something that will catch my eye. It is true that teaching is one of life’s greatest challenges because not all students learn the same. Some students learn from only hands on activities, some would rather be buried in a book, and others would rather watch what they are trying to learn. In the end, you need to figure out what the best way you can deliver the lessons without letting the students forget. Steve Wheeler often questions whether or not the curriculums in the current school systems are good, but he agrees that it is up to the teacher to make sure that the students are learning and retaining the information. Think back to your elementary years, do you really remember what you learned every day? The goal as a teacher is to make sure that your students do remember by creating memorable lessons. There are many ways you can do this. For example: you can give the children a topic and have them read on their own and present it, you could have them create something from their imagination when you say an educational word so that they could represent what they are talking about, and so many other things. You have to make it engaging for the student or else the lesson would be lost.
