Meet Me in the Middle: Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The best way, and perhaps the easiest way to teach students is to captivate their attention and interest in a subject. The hard part is keeping them motivated to maintain this interest. This chapter talked a lot about the different ways to motivate your students. Some different activities are suggested that would incorporate varying learning styles and intelligences. They seem similar to some of the activities that are used in high school and some elementary schools, many of them are familiar from practicum. It is suggested to introduce students to the multiple intelligences here so that they become more familiar with themselves and their own way of learning. One of the suggestions that stood out to me was to exaggerate important concepts to help students remember them better.
