Consequently, I have devoted most of my teaching career toward taking advantage of the two to enable my students to reach a level of knowledge that is wholesome and truly sublime.
I submitted this sArticle to three journals and each turned it down for "not being suited for their readership" despite the fact that it was acknowledged to be creative and unique from an educational point of view. Following is the link to the sArticle and I hope you and your students would benefit from its insights, use its approach in your respective classrooms (with acknowledgement of its source of course), and share your thoughts about it and how you would expand upon it by posting comments in this blog.
