They Snooze you Lose by Burmark - Chapter 4

In Chapter 4, Burmarck explains that in the world of education, teachers not only need to get things done, but also well done. She mentions that in order to be effective, we need to get our students attention and also make the presentation stick to their minds. To make the presentation memorable, Burmarck presents the acronym CHIMES. That means that we need to use Connections, Humor, Images, Music, Emotions, Story, and our Senses. I had never read about it, but I do agree with Burmarck because we need to make a connection with our students to facilitate transferring our knowledge to them. Since they all have different learning styles it is essential to include all of the characteristics that Burmarck is suggesting in order to get the point across to our audience in such a way that we make it contagious so that our audience could go and teach others.
