As a future teacher and from experience in the past with my teachers I believe that it is imperative to give lessons that cater to all of the different learning styles. I know that most of my teachers stood in the front of the class and lectured us and then passes out worksheets for us to practice what we learned; or if we were reading that day we just took turns reading the text book. My vision is to create a classroom where this happens rarely. I would like to have a class where all learning styles are employed. It would be a break from the monotonous and create a fun and easy learning environment. I still remember a lesson taught by my 11th grade American history teacher were he had three of us sit on the floor with our arms linked. One of us then had to try to stand while the other two held that one down. This lesson was demonstrating the checks and balances of the American government.
Those are the types of lessons that I would like to have in my English class. If we are reading then maybe we might have "actors and actresses" act out the story. Or perhaps for a grammar lesson we might have a fun game instead of a worksheet!
