Have you ever walked into a classroom were something caught your eye immediately? Growing up in small town and going to a small school getting this eye catcher was hit and miss but mostly miss. However, coming to Penn State University and being an agricultural major you get to see more of the one on one instruction and your instructors like to have fun. The class that mostly sticks in my mind was AEE 297 with Dr. Ewing where he gave this speech on needing desserts for his kids for the school the next day. We had pudding, pretzels, chocolate chips, graham crackers, and a few others. Come to figure out we were learning about aggregates for concrete and masonry.
As an educator I want to create these "hooks" to introduce units and lessons to my classes. These interest approaches are what intrigue the minds of students and make them want to learn more. While planning units I need to always keep this in mind when deciding the unit objectives and the lesson objective and what can I do to make them engaged but learn at the same time.
