Brief notes for Teachers and Parents

The BYOD exercises are best done together with your kids…. They are nothing more than learning paradigms, models which can be exploited in an infinite number of ways, depending on the level of the children, how far you want to push them to perform, how much the kids want to.

To give you an example.  Let’s say the question is “Can you cook?”

A perfectly adequate response for a beginner who understands the question will be: “Yes, I can.”

For kids at a higher level, the following answers are samples they might produce using their imagination. Answers do not have to be true.

Yes, of course I can.

Yes I can. I am a great cook.

Yes I can, I’m a great cook. I got top marks in my class for cooking.

Yes, I can.  I don’t like to boast, but I’ve been top of my class in cooking for 6 consecutive years.
