How can today's teachers successfully develop lessons that will inspire students and ignite in them the desire to learn? This book highlights several fundamental principles of effective learning that can be utilized while teaching almost ANY content to create a dynamic, engaging lesson and produce high level results.
Each chapter introduces a new "building block" for effective instruction and illustrates this technique using descriptions, examples, analogies, and metaphors. Chapters conclude with a sample lesson plan showing how this technique can be applied to a specific topic.
