They Snooze you Lose by Burmark - Chapter 6

In chapter six, Harnessing Humor, Burmark give details in how to use humor in our presentations. We can have activities that will make students learn by having fun. These activities can be short stories, poems, recipes, etc. Burmark recommends to use neotenous pranks, also jokes, cartoons but most important to establish humor so that our students get contagious and get to work while having fun, which is going to make them want to work more. Burmark mentions that Surprise is other important aspect of humor that we can use to engage students in the content of our presentation that will improve the learning process in the classroom. By making students laugh does not mean that they are not learning, actually if we as teachers want to get the content across, first of all we need our students attention; once we have it, we can use some humor to keep them engaged in it will make it easier for them to remember the concepts learned.
