Metamorphis of the didactic lecture

by

Dr. Mark Winegar

Song lyrics

As I was walking down the hall
... down the hall
... down the hall
As I was walking down the hall
what do you think I saw?

Two pretty coeds up ahead
... up ahead
... up ahead
There were two pretty coeds up ahead
and what do you think they said?

I overheard their yackity yack
... yackity yack
... yackity yack
I overheard their yackity yack
and talking about my class.

The first one asked, "Did you read the book?"
... "read the book?"
... "read the book?"
The first one asked, "Did you read the book?"
so I listened very close.

The other one said, "Why should I?"
... "Why should I?"
... "Why should I?"
The other one said, "Why should I?
The lecture says it all."

Well, what do you think I did about that?
... did about that?
... did about that?
What do you think I did about that?
I decided to make them work.

Now my lectures are a sneaky game.
... a sneaky game.
... a sneaky game.
Now my lectures are a sneaky game
and this is how it's played.

I allowed myself to make mistakes.
... make mistakes.
... make mistakes.
I allowed myself to make mistakes
and the students had to catch them all.

I praised them all for busting me.
... for busting me.
... for busting me.
I praised them all for busting me
and we all had lots of fun!

What do you think my students did?
... my students did?
... my students did?
What do you think my students did?
They started to read and learn.

Now my students want to read.
... want to read.
... want to read.
Now my students want to read
and get one over on me.
