Join 📚 Fabien's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Fabien's read, .
Meyer pointed out that a typical lesson on the problem of “How long will it take to fill a water tank?” provides far too many tips and hints along the way. Meyer decided to “eliminate all the substeps given to kids, so they have to figure it out. Instead of telling them what matters, they need to decide what matters.” At first, Meyer began to strip a lot of the text out of his teaching materials, giving kids less, so they would have to ask and think more. Then he came up with an even better idea: He showed his class a video of a water tank filling up . . . “agonizingly slowly,” he says. Students began to “look at their watches, rolling their eyes. And they’re all wondering, at some point, ‘Man, how long is it gonna take to fill up?’ That’s how you know you’ve baited the hook.”

la force de conviction d’un discours passait à 60 % par le langage du corps, à 30 % par les inflexions de la voix (ce que l’on appelle la prosodie) et à 10 % seulement par les mots eux-mêmes. En somme, un orateur est d’abord vu, ensuite entendu, et enfin seulement compris.
