Fires in the Bathroom Chapter 10

I really liked chapter 10 in general because it talked about teachers finding ways to connect their subject material to the outside world. It mentioned designing projects that involve experts, finding a learning experience outside of the school, and arranging internships for students. All of the student comments showed how exciting these opportunities are for kids and how devoted they become to a project that was obviously designed with care by a teacher who clearly wants to expand the minds of his or her students.

I would really like to be able to create great outside learning experiences for my students. Especially because I know English can become a really mundane subject, I want to try to find ways to get my students to see the value of English outside of the classroom. I think that they will appreciate my efforts to get outside of the school that they are locked in for at least 6 hours a day. It's my hope that I can use my resources as a teacher to better the education of my students and to bring them out into the world that I am supposedly preparing them to enter one day.
