When it comes to teaching today's youth, you gotta get extra creative. It's important to stay hip to what the kids are into to figure out useful ways to keep their attention during lessons. For example, when trying to teach an arduous, very serious, important text like the Declaration of Independence to kids who are used to texting and 3 second videos, you have to do something more than a little popcorn reading. This teacher used a very fun technique!
The teacher secretly left a note on the floor. One of the students, innocently, picked it up and started reading it. Not allowing to pass notes in class, the teacher took the note from him. She started to read it and looked aghast! The students insisted she spill the tea on what it says, and she revealed it was a break-up note. Unable to conceal their excitement at such juicy tea, they begged her to read it to them. So she did. And at the end, while they are all gasping and trying to guess which one of their classmates it's from and for, she reveals the shocking twist: It's from the American Colonies to Great Britain. Because, essentially, that was a break-up note… The kids were SHOCKED, MYSTIFIED, and maybe also a little disappointed. But hey, she got them invested in the subject immediately!
It turns out, according to the comment section of the video, that she isn't the only teacher who has done this. In fact, it seems that many other teachers around the U.S. introduce this section of their history lesson by planting a fake break-up note and then revealing, only after all the students are on the edge of their seats, that it is actually about the Declaration of Independence. It's teachers like this that will keep the youth educated!
