"Be the change you want to see in the world." (Gandhi) When teaching a unit on civil disobedience to my students, this quote really grabbed their attention. We discussed the quote, and also discussed Thoreau's influence on both Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. My students continue to apply this quote to their lives, both inside and outside of the school. I teach by example, and strive to bring the "real world" into the classroom by making connections between the classroom topics and the outside world. It has proven to be a successful strategy and one the students appreciate.
