Goodness, the video of that reporter having temporary aphasia would be wonderful for starting off a discussion of language in the brain. I showed it to my classes and they were riveted.
m -- Marc Carter, PhD Associate Professor and Chair Department of Psychology College of Arts & Sciences Baker University -- ________________________________ From: Patricia Santoro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 8:15 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: re:[tips] Help with teaching a large class...the topic is... Thinking, Language, and Intelligence. My friend just found out yesterday and she will probably focus on the Language part of the trio. I'm sure there are good video clips of children learning language and other appealing aspects of the topic. Once again, if you have a favorite, please share and I will pass it on. Thanks to everyone who offered helpful comments, particularly the suggestion of developing the mindset of an entertainer. I know with that many students in the class, you need to have high energy to get through it. Getting the students involved was also a good idea, and I've done it with a class of 150 by having them stand up or sit down in response to certain questions (the movement kept them awake at 9 am), but I'm not sure if that would work with 300. Thanks again, Pat Santoro Professor of Psychology, Emeritus Frostburg State University --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
