Hi Francisco!
Great approach! My hope is that the students will also share life experiences.
Keep up the good work!

Good morning Kim!
Great approach! I often do the opposite. I go into an activity with miminal explanation then watch the light go on for students and THEN we talk about personal experiences.
Keep up the good work!

I ALSO TAKE THE SAME POSITION. FOR MY INDUSTRY WE USE THE BOOK AS A FOUNDATION AND THEN GROW INTO THE PRACTICE BEHIND IT THROUGH THE USE OF MY EXPERIENCE
i try to give my students as meny real life experience in my class.
I totally agree that you have to continously remind your students of their future goals. This will only help them and keep them focused on the end result.
In my case, I try to explain the value of the learning experience. Before I start a demo, I tell the students the gainig value of the new skill or technique they will learn. This excercise will open the door to relay it and transport it on a real life experience example. Students stay more focused and are more receptive for the new technique or skill.
