The Sweater Article

I really enjoyed and agreed with this reading.  I believe it is so important for teachers to incorporate information that is relevant to students' lives and they can relate to.  When students show passion about a topic, it is vital for teachers to strive to teach about that topic.  When students are interested in topics that can be taught on a academic level, teachers should prioritize teaching about that topic.  It was so exciting for me to read how excited the students were about heat.  I believe when situations like this happen teachers should run with the idea and expand it into multiple subject areas.  I enjoyed reading this article because I could relate to the students about how excited they were about this idea.  I have felt like that in some of my classes when we have done community service projects.  It is a great feeling to have a connection with something that you are learning about and I believe will leave have a greater impact on the students.
