How Can Reading SuperFreakonomics Save Education?
Imagine walking into a Chemistry classroom and seeing the following on the chalkboard: Today's Agenda: Chemical Reactions Now, picture this on the board instead: Today's Question: What happens when I mix these two things together? Which would grab you and more importantly, which would grab most students, thus enticing them to become engaged and motivated for class that day? I suspect the latter, and it dawned on me even more after reading SuperFreakonomics just how effective essential questions can be.
