// “It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question and inquire into it.” Jokob Bronowski // Here are your thought shots on way to incorporate layering into your classroom! This powerpoint is used for my professional development only - with tons of examples given to me by other teachers...not all is cited - I've done my best to make sure I can cite as I can.
