"BIFF!" and "KA-PLOWIE!" :)<br /><br />Liz, thank you so very much for sharing with us, but I'm sorry to say that I have absolutely NO IDEA what you were talking about. Totally went over my head. Are those the Muses of Greek mythology? :)<br /><br />TN, my pleasure. Anything that you can share with us that we may not have heard of before?<br /><br />Linda, I imagine that WOULD be pretty funny for an outside observer to see during a test. Kids' eyes rolling up in their heads, as they wave their hands around. :)Mister Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797744114515551901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-23198085271652005662010-10-26T20:30:05.938-05:002010-10-26T20:30:05.938-05:00For coordinate graphing, I have a little chant: ho...For coordinate graphing, I have a little chant: horizontal first uh huh, then do the vertical - complete with hand motions and eye rolls. It's always a kick to see the hand motions when they're graphing during a quiz.Linda and Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507457405486846539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-57125940087596694112010-10-26T15:35:38.479-05:002010-10-26T15:35:38.479-05:00I used "punch it up" today for the first...I used "punch it up" today for the first time and principal came in during the middle of the lesson--she loved it!

When I was younger, I was very good at memorizing; consequently, I didn't really have much of a need for mnemonics. However, I've adopted a few that have helped me and have helped students. I teach an introductory course in formal logic. So for the 5 most common valid argument, they are BARBARA and her four best friends, whose names all start with the letter C (CELARENT, CESARE, CAMESTRES, CAMENES). The two syllogisms that indirectly reduce don't become BARBARA, but they use her (kind of like impersonating her). Their names are BAROCO and BOCARDO. It seems to help when we create personalities for the names.Liz Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068234196010446869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-52122392392305111042010-10-25T20:49:12.385-05:002010-10-25T20:49:12.385-05:00The punch it up method is great!

We also add a vocal "POW" as we punch it up...kinda like a sound effect you would hear on the old Batman and Robin TV show when they were fighting bad guys.<br /><br />Also, when we round to the hundreds we give a "peace" sign with 2 fingers to remind us that there will always be, at least, 2 zeros when we round to the hundreds.<br />KPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
