I am just getting into this blogging thing and I love reading all of the creative and fun activities/lessons/insight that teachers have. I have learned so much already just from reading posts and stories from your own experience so thank you for that. I like the idea of showing off the student’s work on the bulletin board. It gives the students some power and a motivating activity that forces them to persevere through the problem. I was wondering if the students were able to work in groups on the problem? Was it for a grade, extra credit or just for fun? If it didn’t count for anything in class, I was wondering how you motivated your students to commit to the problem? Did you only put the good ones on the board or did you include everyone that turned one in? Thanks for hearing the rookie out and for considering my questions.Allienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-6330055621917413072015-04-15T15:04:45.491-05:002015-04-15T15:04:45.491-05:00Thanks Susan!

Like you, I had some amazing creativity from my students! This was great, because I am teaching in Asia, and most students here do not add the creative touch to their work. Like you, I need to find more creative type activities for my students.<br /><br />BTW, I love reading your blog. Even though I am in my 20th year of teaching, I am still inspired by other teachers and always looking for new ideas.Susan Hewetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04126108127297053487noreply@blogger.com
