Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

Reflection
I believe my Multi-Genre project and Angry Birds lesson plan demonstrate teaching. The Multi-Genre project allows students to see multiple ways of expressing the content. Involving more then one approach to content is very important when teaching because not everyone learns the same exact way. It not only provides many different ways (visual, puzzles, real-life examples) of learning about Pascal's Triangle, but it shows students that they can be creative when learning. Creativity is very important when teaching. Create is on the top of Blooms Taxonomy, and I feel this needs to be expressed not only to students, but also to teachers. Teachers should be creative when making a lesson. My Angry Birds lesson plan is a creative way of looking at quadratic functions, and the lesson uses creative ways of formative assessment as well. While teaching we should constantly be formatively assessing our class/students, and I believe this is expressed through my Angry Birds lesson plan.
