It really challenged me to put my pride aside and to get onto my students level. To this day, they still talk about it.

For linear equations this year I had students write instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. After doing that I read their instructions and they made them in front of the class. It was interesting to see how people's changed when someone in front of them left out an important step.<br />Ashleyunk2455https://www.blogger.com/profile/15493734872644158500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542724471702676307.post-80907113438741751082009-09-30T22:52:46.824-04:002009-09-30T22:52:46.824-04:00Mr Dan Campbell- I'm working on getting some ...Mr Dan Campbell- I'm working on getting some webspace so I can upload the video and audio.

You've done something to present the same material in a memorable way.
