We teach the future as we do the past. Teaching the Future: What? Questions Insights Creativity

We teach the future as we do the past. Teaching the Future: What? “During this unit I have learned how to look at things and think about what effect they could have in the future. I learned this skill from the group discussions and from the future wheels we did. I have not just learned about the big picture but also smaller details that I could not see before. I think that that was a very good thing to learn because it could help me make the future a better place. I believe that every student should learn about how to see what a certain thing's implications on the future is. It would be good not only to help make the future a better place but also to help people make better decisions in their lives.”
