Chapter 9: Non fiction
The chapter talks about teachers using non fiction as substitiutes or alternatives for teaching content to their students. I remember doing textbook work in high and middle school. and it was one of the most dull and boring ways to learn. I never was able to see a teachers textbook until a couple of years ago. I remember seeing that their copy actually had notes on what to say and what important words to introduce. It even had teaching strategies. I always wondered why the lecture was always the same in highschool. It's because the teachers always did what the book told them to do. Using non fiction books means that everyone would have the same book and the teacher would shy away from being told how to teach and hopefully would be able to come up with new and exciting ways to teach.
