When teaching a lesson~ I think you have to approach it like a shotgun. Shotguns do not just shoot one bullet~ but spray lots of little bullets at the target.
In the same way~ when teaching~ try to hit the lesson from many different angles. Have them use their hands~ their voices~ their eyes...use food~ music~ technology~ movement...keep trying to hit the lesson from another angle. By doing this~ the lesson becomes exciting and you tap into the different learning styles.
Currently~ I am using this approach with a lesson I teach every year on the Battle of the Alamo. Join me at Ed World's Innovative Teaching group and let me know how you use this multi-angle approach.
Be innovative and keep the fire in the classroom burning!
