As future teachers it is imperative that we develop healthy reading strategies in this class. How can we teach healthy reading strategies when we haven't learned reading strategies for ourselves? A teacher trying to teach reading strategies without prior knowledge is like a NFL or NBA team hiring a head coach that has no type of knowledge about football or basketball. Even though that does happen from time to time, that's another conversation for another day.The Ted Talks that I have attached is a great source for future science teachers to get their students excited about science. Most students appreciate science more once they see how it can affect their everyday lives. The speaker in the video used real-life situations in science rather than students just doing a science worksheet and calling it a day.

Hey Cinco! I totally agree and am glad you shared this Ted Talk! I believe that pre-reading and other reading strategies can help tremendously, but a true power is connecting these topics to students' lives and getting them truly engaged in the material. Involving students in interactive learning is such a great idea and emerges the kids into the learning rather than projecting it onto them. WC: 66
