One thing I really liked about this chapter is that it said that teachers should challenge our students assumptions. I agree this so much because sometimes teenagers just assume that what their parents, peers, and others say is going to be true.
There are so many things that teenagers assume that we can make a "teachable moment". In the book, teachers had students define "ghetto" and then gave them the real definition. This will allow the students to be interested and relate the lesson back to the real world. I think it is a great idea to build lesson around assumptions students make.
