Mr. Danoff's Teaching Laboratory

Where Mr. Danoff shares the results of his experiments with how best to teach and learn the English language.


Latest Experiment

My Semester with the
FUN WITH ENGLISH (FWE) 7A & 8A Textbooks

For the Fall 2009 - Winter 2010 semester I was assigned to build a curriculum around the FWE textbooks. I began by having my students do every question of each chapter. Over time, I moved more towards using the chapter topics to engender discussion, while not forgetting the book.
