" Sometimes we try to get our students into an analytic frame of mind, and we onder why they get bored after awhile! I've had a great reaction from some of the kids when I do a summary of a story, and then ask the kids if that story gets any bells going in their heads — gets them thinking about their own lives. that's when they start paying attention, and that's when they'll speak up.
