Fires in the Bathroom Chapter 1

The first thing that jumped out at me and really made me think was how each student not only knew something but that they know how to do something that not everybody does. I was really impressed that Pedro could draw the Aztec calendar; this is something I would love to be able to do and have not really heard of anyone being able to draw from scratch.
Having the kids list what they can do outside of the classroom could prove immensely important with trying to relate to them and help them understand certain material. If you can’t relate some of the classroom material for them but still want to utilize their unique talents you could try and help them use their talents in other areas. If Jae Yoon knows how to play the guitar, you can try and find other students that you know play instruments to see if they would want to create a band together. It is always interesting to me to look beyond the cover of someone and find out some secret talent or skill that they know that could or should be shared. Out of all the skills listed, the only one that I could perform to par would be swimming.
