A Lesson Idea
I think the life Steve Jobs led, his achievements, his dreams, his talks and the gadgets he revolutionised and presented us will teach many lessons to the teenagers. They have a long life with dreams and opportunites so I decided to take this article to class tomorrow and prepared a lesson on it.

It is a great design, and the article, I’m sure, will have interested your students.
I so appreciate using such relevant materials in a classroom. I’m sure your students responded well to it, were quite engaged. Sometimes I forget that the news I find interesting may also be interesting to my students (how about that!). Plus, doing this sort of exercise helps cement it in their minds in such an authentic way. Thanks for the reminder!
