After reading chapter 18 I found it very true how textbooks are often unappealing to students. I remember hating to just read out of the text book then have a quiz or test. Being in the Post-Bach program is the first time my classes were not like this. This is why I enjoy it so much. I really do think that if you apply more “trade books” to lesson’s students may be more cooperative and want to learn. Being a teacher is about being creative and getting your students involved. I feel that if a teacher just makes students read then take a test then they are not applying themselves as a teacher at all.
