Chapter 7: Teaching Difficult Academic Material

"That's when a person's love for teaching comes out, when they get to talk about something they know" (127). I feel as though this is an important statement and all teachers should realize that they need to talk about things that they are interested in and that they know and love.

In my concentration I think that my own interests are good material for writing prompts and make for good discussions. I also feel that if I can share with my students the books that I am reading, then I can spur them on and encourage them to go ahead and read further than that which they are required.
