Abstract
As teachers, we need to constantly adapt to help our students get out of the rut of thinking the textbook is the only right way to learn the material. We often need to change up our teaching strategies from lecturer to facilitator to help improve our students' understanding. Some ways to do this are by considering student motivation, facilitating creative thinking and active learning, and doing activities so teachers and students learn to see things from different perspectives. In this workshop, we will look at active learning tasks that can be used as stand-alone activities, as well as independently or within learning groups, and can be adapted to most levels and lessons while helping everyone master the material through seeing people and situations from different angles.
