Disneyworld Enrichment
My students are a professional touring choir. When they visit fun places like Disneyworld I like them to learn something as well as have a good time. This activity is one they do on the drive to Disneyworld. They will read a short bio of Disney and the respond to an open-ended question. They will draw Mickey Mouse (scale, proportion, direction following). The last page is Disney trivia. They find the answers by evaluating math expressions (order of operations).

Teaching style
Interactive. I use individual white boards often in class. My PowerPoint slide presentations have questions for the class after we've done some examples. Students answer on the whiteboards, hold them up and I can tell immediately who is "getting" the concept and who isn't.
