The Law of COMMUNICATION (of the Language)

The Law of COMMUNICATION - To Truly impart information requires the building of bridges. It is the teachers mission ... by sympathy, by example, and by every means of influence - by objects for the senses, by facts for the intelligence – to excite the mind of the pupils, to stimulate their thoughts ... The greatest of teachers said: "The seed is the word." The true teacher stirs the ground and sows the seed. - John Milton Gregory

Communication >>> Common Ground See John 4 for the master of bridge building

Communication's 3 essential ingredients

- Intellect = thought = something I know

- Emotion = feeling = something I feel

- Volition = action = and something I'm doing

What do you get excited about?

"If I know something thoroughly , feel it deeply, and am doing it consistently, I have great potential for being an excellent communicator. In fact, the more thoroughly I know the concept ... the more deeply I feel it ... and the more consistently I practice it ... the greater my potential as a communicator."

When you teach, ask:

What do I know - and what do I want these students to know?

What do I feel - and what do I want them to feel?

What do I do - and what do I want them to do?
