Teaching with Students' Interests in Mind

In our last lecture, the teachers mentioned how they try to stay in tune with what is happening and what are the influences in their students' lives. I saw this video and thought this was a good way of incorporating the students' interests and learning into one project.


I liked how in the song, the students displayed that they learned about both parties, each party's platforms, and also the election in general.



Here is the song...

This is a really good example of incorporating what the students learned and their interests all into one! I know that we all hope to be able to do that someday in our classrooms. Good video choice!
