2.  Adopt 21 st century teaching approaches to enhance and build interest in students for appreciation of History and Geography.

3.  I would change my questioning strategy with the students to promote their critical thinking ability.  For any research work or any good outcome for students they would be encouraged rather than just being praised, that would play a role of motivation for other students.  More research based tasks will be given to students in form of groups.  this would develop the habit of working together and helping each other.
