Engagement.

I lack the creativity and time to develop well designed classroom activities that are both fun and pertain to the content we are covering. Therefor, I take a little different approach. Most all of my lessons consist of lecture and then class work that we work on together. However, I try to present the lecture part with the same consistency of a comedy skit. I'm able to use my personality and wit to capture attention and keep it directed on what I am doing. I do a lot of "picking" on kids, which sounds terrible but is done with carefulness and avoids students of which it may emotionally harm. It also makes behavior management pretty easy. This in return helps me build relationships and mutual respect. And above all else it takes the monotony out of teaching class after class, as the content changes each class because there are different kids with different personalities.
