Personal Mission Statement

Brown Bag Exams

One of the most awesomerific things that I learned this semester was how to give a brown bag exam to my students.  I think that the idea was coined by my Professor Denise Ousley but I am not sure for certain.  What you do is put an item in a brown lunch bag and give them out to each of your students.  Each student will have something different in their bag.  At the same time, all the students open their bags and start to make connections between their items and the book that they have read.  I did this when I was teaching Pride and Prejudice and the students made connections  that I have never even thought about.  It is really intersting to see the littlest detail focused on and the best connections made from it.  Try it sometime!
