In the final chapter of Fires talks about how to take all this learning and motivation of students and bring it outside the classroom, so it has a meaningful place in the real world. Students want to make those connections to the world outside, because it will make the entire learning experience mean more to them and help them actually retain the information and take something out of it. This chapter also talks about things that teachers can do to encourage further learning.
One thing that stood out to me is that so many students want their teachers to continue teaching them even after the class is over. I know that there are so many teachers who I would want to continue teaching me, even when the school year is over, so hearing all this different kids talk about having amazing learning experiences was really nice to read.
