I have always been interested in helping others feel a sense of accomplishment To do this for my students, I focus on creating lessons that gain their interest quickly This creates curiosity in the topic we are studying and inspires them to search for answers Students, and adults, learn best from one another, and I take an interest in finding alternative ways to deliver lessons and help them accomplish their learning goals in an engaging way One of my most recent experiences was an instance where one of my students was struggling with understanding rhetorical devices It was challenging to create a lesson that piqued her interest in a topic she was hating I used social media posts to harness her interest It was a relatable vehicle for her and she felt comfortable We worked together to analyze the message of each image and slowly she saw how those strategies are used to influence opinion She passed the district benchmark examination testing that skill and could tutor other students struggling with the same concept
