learning goals?
Post-point task?
Your goal in class may be for students to engage to learn, to expand on what they know, to express their own ideas or to decide on the next move, but not all at once.
Your points will make an organized conversation, that has emotional appeal, provides clear, credible data to support your thesis and leads to a goal.
Purposes…Ask:
To learn…AHA!
For ideas…what if?
To agree…yes, and…
To decide…Let’s do that.

6. GOAL Describe that goal
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely learning goal
Describe that goal
Problem, solution, benefit
Or what, so what-Call to adventure, now what- call to action

Where can you spot and get over the barriers before they do? How can you surprise?
Change your rhythm only to make a point.
Present it
Manage anxiety by greeting it.
Anxiety tells you that this is important, you should reply that’s why I practiced it. Practice a lot and then hold off on judging yourself.
If you encounter resistance: ask your audience to try to imagine what it would be like if we did this.
If they see it as a problem, keep asking why.
Ask them what advice they would give.
