Meet Me in the Middle: Chapter 4

Chapter 4: I really liked this chapter on active learning. It is important for the brain and learning to be moving while learning. By getting students up and moving during a lesson, you are keeping them active, engaged and focused. I think that not only is it important to keep students engaged and interested, but by having students up and moving you are reaching out to students with different intelligences, those who may not be as successful in a traditional classroom. I want to have a lot of activities in my classroom and the list at the end of the chapter will be really helpful for ideas.
