I too was taught to start the lesson with a "bang" and use the story method as my way of building a connection with the students. As an ESL teacher, I use stories as springboards to teach new vocabulary, which is an engaging way of bringing a lesson to life and building a connection with students. I'm bookmarking your site for my new teachers to read and enjoy. Would you consider being interviewed for my site? I think your expertise has great appeal for the new teachers who read my blogsite. Have a happy weekend holiday. Dorit Sasson http://www.newteacherresourcecenter.com The New Teacher Resource Center "Helping you Become a Successful Classroom Teacher" Hi, Damien,
