CUTE ANSWERS

Blaine has said this about personalizing the class:

“I believe people who are the most effective at TPRS don't tell stories. They ask questions, pause, and listen for cute answers from the students. The magic is in the interaction between the student and teacher. TPRS is searching for something interesting to talk about. That is done by questioning. Interesting comprehensible input is the goal of every class. If we are there to tell a story, we will probably not make the class interesting. We will be so focused on getting the story out that we won't let the input from the kids happen.”
