When they connect like that...I ask them a follow up question... in the politest of tones... "So what?" or sometimes I just say "So...." and wait them out. Another question that works..."And what do you understand now with that connection that you didn't understand before?" I want to keep the focus on what they understood because of the strategy...not the strategy itself. Jennifer In a message dated 7/6/2009 12:42:20 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
They all know what connections are since they have heard it since kindergarten. Some still focus on "I have a dog too!" **************Summer concert season is here!
