Chapter 12 is about energizers and is for those moments where people are getting fidgety. There's 12 energizers total, which are about a page long. They mostly consist of stretching and doing/saying something, like touching the walks of the room, or chanting a phrase like "stretching is good!" It's a very repetitive chapter, though I don't think getting movement going for a few moments in a classroom environment is a bad idea. I just think the way the material is presented comes off as extra fluff.
Remember how I said he offered scripts in his exercises. Here's an example.
I'll make one last brief post summarizing my thoughts on the book, but spoiler - not impressed.
It does seem like you had mixed feelings about this book. Some chapters seemed to be worth the read while other's not so much. Do you think it was the content or the structure of the book itself? I got the impression that the ideas could have been better written and expressed. Even as you were blogging, I could tell your thoughts of the book. Looking forward to reading final wrap-up.
ReplyDeleteHmm, not sure whether to respond here or just post my final thoughts, but you are correct. I think I started this book enjoying and relating to the data, but once we got to the exercises, I was less enthused about the material and the way it was presented.
