I love it. I love the meaning that it provided to the students, not just a discrete piece of knowledge for the test, exam, assignment, etc. It connected the knowledge to thought, feelings, fear, reality... a person. In my opinion I think, for the most part, students appreciate that reality and vulnerability too.
Meant to reply to this a lot earlier! Yes, redirecting "knowledge" and "things" to the story of a person can be so powerful. Something I would like to bring into my practice a little more for sure.
gr8 insight Tom, i think it was worth it too.
Thanks George!
