Positive Impact
It is always my goal to try and make a positive impact on students throughout class discussions. I want them to know that I am knowledgeable about the information but I also want to share real world examples with them so that it makes more sense and applies to them directly. I believe that if you make the goals clear at the beginning, during class and at the end (summarizing the lesson) the students will slowly begin to understand how this impacts their lives and ultimately their grade in the class. Real world examples to me are great because most people (students included) know what is going on in the world around them, but if they don't this helps to see the lessons more clearly.
