"Where I Am From" poem template used by student.
I am from the hot south of Louisiana, the mountains and rivers of West Virginia, and the peace of wherever I call home at the time.
I am from the mixing bowl, from Hershey’s chocolate chips, and putting my heart into baking.
I am from the play times with my nephew and the work ethic of my father, from field trips with my boyfriend and get-togethers with my friends and meetings with the Girl Scouts.
I am from many art studios, and the joys of painting, pottery, and passed down crafts.
From the names of the birds and adventure fantasy stories I read.
I am from the freedom of religious choice and whatever path I spiritually want to follow.
I’m from Fairmont, West Virginia and the Hulsairs, the colorful Mardi Gras parades and the “king cakes”.
I am from the stacks of family photo albums and the family trees.

Article Quote:
"Notice the emphasis on the inquiry process, on the students becoming active learners, and on strategically using their social contacts outside the classroom to access new knowledge for the development of their studies."
If only more students had opportunities like this I would be happy. from what I remember of grade school parents were often the only ones to help with any projects. I loved the educational videos shown in classes, but even then my classmates had to do worksheets while watching them. Some teachers are finding the time to do such things as get out of the classroom at least, for the pottery room at my college is visited by grade school teachers and their students.
Active learning is the key to an enjoyable and memorable lesson. It makes sense that subjects like art, physical education, science, and music often grab children's attention. Unfortunately, humans have very short attention spans, and you need all of the help you can get to remember something. I am so glad that I am teaching an active education subject, well, at least one you are allowed to get active with. Yes, art teachers must guide, but the tools are what do the real hands-on teaching.

Well, this picture should not be a surprise. I know I learn the most by teaching something or asking questions. This picture shows that active listening uses more parts of your brain, then, should we presume we are learning more by being active listeners?
