Summary of If They're Laughing, They Just Might be Listening: Ideas for Using Humor Effectively in the Classroom - Even if You're Not Funny Yourself
A classroom filled with laughter is a classroom with positive energy. It is a classroom where students feel free to use their creativity to the fullest; where time is spent building up, rather than tearing down; and where students feel free to try, to fail, and to grow, without fear.Based on the idea that "If they're laughing, they're probably learning, too," the book has dozens of tips like these:
- turn weaknesses into strength;
- be someone else;
- have fun with your tests;
- tease?and be willing to be teased back;
- encourage creativity by assigning an outrageous task; and
- beat a subject to death, to the point of absurdity.
This book includes many examples of classroom activities that encourage laughter and learning and just-for-fun materials for teachers.
