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.
