It is especially difficult when your students are learning a second language and need to first grasp the grammatical concepts in order to use the language. Making connections with language is usually possible with cultural and historical references to similar lessons, but more challenging with grammar and vocabulary lessons.

We have looked at different landmark events in history and talked about how our current reality would be different had the outcome of that particular event was changed.

We discussed the cost of starting a business or renting a building for a business, "breaking even" and then making money, with paying off a student loan as "breaking even" and then earning a profit on your education. My students were very engaged and asked several questions about how to make the decisions about college and cost. While it may not have been "math" related, it was a great way to open up the room for thought provoking questions. Students also asked me about my own personal choices regarding continuing education. I would like to find additional ways to bring this type of discussion into my teaching.Mrs. Tremblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389584535659252883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386178653718476966.post-5031880085475349672017-02-17T07:40:38.899-08:002017-02-17T07:40:38.899-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mrs. Tremblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389584535659252883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386178653718476966.post-26008540113001425392017-02-17T07:35:20.922-08:002017-02-17T07:35:20.922-08:00I'd like to find time in the curriculum to hav...I'd like to find time in the curriculum to have students create authentic connectionsEGrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11911853675145713015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386178653718476966.post-53699808338794708392017-02-17T07:21:38.360-08:002017-02-17T07:21:38.360-08:00I need to figure out how to find and show more aut...I need to figure out how to find and show more authentic connections.
