Abstract

How do you make the study of religion interesting to students?

Jesuit Teacher Paul Fitzgerald discusses the most effective ways in which he has learned to teach religion. The walls of Fitzgerald’s classroom have become transparent, as he relies much on service learning. He also firmly believes in the use of one’s own faith belief in teaching and inserting a level of discomfort in the classroom to keep students intrigued.
