the big picture
Before going into the topic for the day I like to start of with something interesting that happened in my career that pertains to the topic. This gets the students interested and keeps them wondering how the situation was resolved. When I complete the story I like to move back to the topic on the white board and elaborate on how understanding this material that we are discussing today is relivant and extremely important to understand.
Hi Stephen!
Would you give me more information about your crawl, walk, run method? It sounds intereting!
Good work!

I relate our topics to something that the students can relate to in their own applications. I've found that this makes for a better learning expierience. We've developed the crawl,walk,run method in our class with much success. This seems to help draw in the student without expierience in the application much better.
Greetings Arthur!
So you capture the students interest from the beginning! Good job! Even the most difficult student can be engaged when intertesting and fun things happen in a classroom.
Keep up the good work!
