I teach 12th Grade Economics & US Government, along with AP Human Geography in a rural, Title 1 school. I have found that my children learn best by expressing themselves through music, drama, art, and technology. When they are asked to be creative, they reach a higher level of cognitive reasoning. In an environment such as ours, expression of knowledge gained is wore like a badge of honor. It is not the grade that drives many of my students, it is the ability to "personally show what you know".
