ROLE PLAYiNG.

I think the students got a lot more out of this role playing experience. It was a lot of fun and we all got really into it. I personally felt like we were all putting our own opinions into it, so we all participated one way or another. I feel like we each got to see everyone else's role playing parts, so that when and if we do become teachers we will know how the under-educated parents, liberal arts, business, and etc. feel towards the board or towards the teachers.

If we would have done a lecture, it would have been boring and i don't think most of the students would have payed attention. Most of the kids get more engaged when its a more hands on type of experience. The advantage of a lecture would be, I personally don't think there would be an advantage to a lecture. Lecture's sometimes get old and students like to be interactive with class.

Passion

I think the only time that i ever enjoyed history was with my 11th grade teacher Mrs. D. She was just always funny, outgoing, cared about her students and helped us with whatever they needed. She came to all the high school varsity games to support her students. She was really open with us, so that if we ever needed anything we knew we could go talk to her. I think it also helped that Mrs. D was so young. She was only about 25 i think. even though she was so cool with us when it came down to getting homework and tests and projects done we did them and we respected her about that.

Authenticity

To me authenticity is how parents raise their kids. Parents need to agree on how to raise their kids together. They can not have their kids going to one parent and ask them something and that parent say no, but then go to their other parent and that parent say yes. It needs to be an equal agreement between the two parents.
