Most of my students are high achieving and highly motivated; however, they often lack the spark of true intellectual curiosity. They care about getting good grades, and lose sight of their love of learning in the process. This isn鈥檛 their fault- it鈥檚 the culture in which they have been raised. They need someone to let them choose their content so that can experience true ownership of their learning instead of just 鈥渄oing school.鈥 Also, as in any classroom, I have a huge range of reading abilities. Again, by giving them choice, I can better differentiate instruction and make sure each student has a book that works for him or her.
