QR #1
On page 13 of Fires in the Bathroom, Kathleen Cushman is talking about how to connect with students. Her suggestion has to do with linking a student’s interests with the teacher’s subject matter.
I think that this is a marvelous idea, as it helps to show a student that what they are learning has a practical application and it is indeed pertinent to his or her life. While this is an excellent idea in some cases it could be very hard to make the connection especially if a teacher doesn’t know enough about each of his or her students. This one little part of this first chapter is a perfect strategy for any and all teachers to keep in mind to provide an engaging classroom that is inclusive of all the students. While thinking about this as it would pertain to my particular concentration, being history, it opens up countless avenues to explore. Since there is a history to everything that exists it wouldn’t be too difficult to include the history of whatever particular interests the students have.

5/5 Good job. It will help in future QRs if you give a little more specific info in the first paragraph. Your reflections are rich and enjoyable to read.
