LWU Education Majors stage an Amazing Race By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University education students used a popular American reality competition TV show on Thursday, March 19, 2026, to review how to be an effective teacher of poetry. Five teams of students in education professor Jennifer Antoniotti-Neal's "Children's Literature" class staged a variation of The Amazing Race in the afternoon. Just as the reality show that has been broadcast for nearly a quarter century by CBS, the Lindsey Wilson student teams competed against one another by seeing who could successfully navigate a course in the shortest amount of time. In the Lindsey Wilson version, the student teams visited five stations scattered through the A.P. White Campus. At each station, they had to overcome obstacles, perform a task and answer questions en route to a grand prize. Each team also designed one station. "They had to wear two hats," said Antoniotti-Neal '98, who is also director of the education program. "They had to wear their teacher's hat, and they had to wear their student's hat." Antoniotti-Neal said the exercise also prepared the 22 students in the class for the Praxis tests, a national examination of pedagogical expertise required of all teachers. "This is a great way for them to review their unit on teaching poetry as well as a great review for them for the PRAXIS test," said Antoniotti-Neal. The winning team was Amelia Brown '29 of Columbia, Alexis Martin '28 of Bowling Green, Kentucky, Dale Shaffer '28 of Albany, Kentucky, and Jadelyn Waggener '29. The grand prize was also a teaching tool. Each student on the winning team received a plastic Hoberman sphere. The LWU students learned that tossing the expanding structure to students is a good way to stimulate class discussion. This story was posted on 2026-03-20 09:17:46
