"I always want to go to teachers who are teaching other subjects and see if I can morph and add their classes to my material. For example, I was talking with the history teacher in my past job. His class was learning about the 1920s. I was considering a few books to choose from, but I went with a text written about the same period. I thought the more we could collaborate, the better the students would retain information and knowledge."

With the novel "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court," there is a tourney that happens. I thought it would be fun to collaborate with the P.E. teacher and have a tournament between the two classes. It has been fun over the years.

Shane's Feedback

I love the idea! You can always pair up with a variety of teachers to hit home subject matter. A little fun is never a bad thing in education.
