Chapter Three - Active Learning

A.
This chapter was about, you guessed it, active learning. The author shared advice on how to keep kids engaged by having them move around during class, both in and out of the classroom.
R.
Another good refresher chapter. After reading it, I actually started going over my own plans for my lessons and making sure I had some kinesthetic intelligence in there. The chapters has some decent ideas, it's now up to me (us) to be willing to try them and spend the energy making it happen. It's a lot easier to just have the kids sit in their seats, in their rows, and take notes all class. Classroom control is always in the back of my mind, and I think it would take a little while to achieve a good balance between going outside, learning and having a good time, and going outside, not paying attention to curricular connections and fooling around.
