INVESTIGATION
Most students don”t
live for the
classroom; they live
in spite of it
!Usually, the things
that interest them
most happen outside
the four walls
of the school
building and outside
your contact with
them.Their lives are
often filled with
special interests that
you aren”t even
aware of. Whether it”s sports,
music, pets, clubs, or hobbies,
there will be
something that will
capture the extra—curricular imagination
of each student.
FIND OUT
WHAT THAT IS, AND
USE IT AS
A BUILDING BLOCK
TO DEVELOP A
LEARNING RELATIONDHIP WITH
YOUR STUDENTS.
A little investigation
is in order. Why ? Because your
students” education depends
on it. You can
use their natural
interests as links
to other interests. LEARN WHAT
THEY DO AT
HOME, AFTER SCHOOL , ON
WEEKENDS.Then, use that knowledge
to influence your
teaching methods.
Learning isn”t
a one—way street
with a dead
end.It”s an exciting
superhighway, with untold exit
and entrances can
mean the difference
between LEARNING and
LABOURING. Draw parallels between
the students” hobbies
and your subject. Only
then will the
“light” shine.
“ A HOBBY IS
SOMETHING YOU GO
WILD ABOUT TO
KEEP FROM GOING
CRAZY.” ---- Jack
