I totally agree Justin! Once your students undersatnd how the new information is relevant, especially to what they have already learned, they are more inclined to want to learn. Well done!

Hi Douglas - Being able to get your students involved in the questioning/assessment process is so important. If they can just participate in the exchange of questions, answers and ideas without feeling afraid or threatened you are doing a terrific job! Susan
