Education

lecturer....and students in my high school hate lectures....they and the admin want 20 min of notes max, then projects/group events/powerpoints and some reading.....so rather than become extinct, I am having to evolve and including more tech in the classroom, more projects and less lectures...grrrrrrr! Don't feel bad, my 9-12th graders don't know Patrick Henry either when I first start lecturing about him.... Some even recite his speech when assigned an oral report...memorized speech they choose from including Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Sojourner Truth's "Aint I a Woman", Meriwether Lewis "On America", Theodore Wright, Abigail Adams"Don't Forget the Ladies" and John Brown speech before his hanging.....Lovely state of education we have......sad, sad, sad.
