No Spoon Feeding Zone
"So, what's the answer?" Cringe. The question came from a student the other day after a long discussion about the reason a character was so enraged. I was tempted to say that the character had been discussing an important topic with others and one of them had not been paying attention and so he was enraged. But I have been told that sarcasm does not work with boys. Dang. It's a fair question, sometimes. It's not easy to follow a discussion with many students providing input and insight. After a while they figure out who has something to say that has a high percentage of being insightful. For others, the class dialogue may drag on and after several minutes they zone out. Once they "come back" they are ready to move on. They want the Spark Notes version (or Reader's Digest or Cliff Notes, depending on your generation). photo © 2007 Kenneth Lu | more info (via: Wylio ) It’s not like it is the first time anyone has asked that question
