  • We learn best by example�this adage is probably as old as teaching itself. In my own classroom, I have found that very often the students learn best from the �negative� examples. Perhaps, this shouldnt come as a surprise at all. After all, we dont react strongly to the norm�but an obvious deviation from the norm may attract our attention and make for a great teachable moment. And, if the deviation happens to be either scary or funny, the added emotional impact can create a truly powerful and lasting memory in the minds of the students.
