An Unexpected Thing
One of the main challenges in this great profession of ours is to get the attention of a group of students, hold their attention and then manage a situation that gets that attention to produce some useful work which will lead to good solid learning. Of course, as teachers, we all know that. That’s the easy bit. But ‘how’ do you do that? Now that is the difficult bit.
