This is great. I confess I've often said ...B.,<br />This is great. I confess I've often said things I don't understand and then my listener and I are both the poorer for it. Fortunately, my profession forces me to "make it clear in simple terms" since I teach English as a second language to 6th graders. These kids are excited about exploring new abstract ideas, but their vocabulary is limited so I have to reduce the message down to the basics and use concrete examples, or at least really good acting to demonstrate what I'm talking about. After all that effort I find that I am the one who understands the concept better. I hope they do too!Cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601841029563458372noreply@blogger.com
