Watson: Hey Sharky, do you see the Towers of London sticking up all over the Harbor of Havana?
Sharky: My dear Watson, why get distracted by the periphery of our canvas? You don’t have to search out something new all the time. What is spotlighted?
Watson: Hmm. My naked body and my eyes looking back at you?
Sharky: Yes, it’s elementary. And by using your two routines what did you learn?
Watson: Leona said her students have trouble reading metaphors. Like if Ravitch* says teachers are robots, they’d go huh? But if they made their own comic following Cory’s step by step going thru what they see, what it’s like
Sharky: That would be basic similes.
Watson: Yes and then making them into metaphors.
Sharky: I see and why would teachers be robots
Watson: Because they’re given a script to teach to the test.
Sharky: And what’s wrong with that.
Watson: Hmm. Let me put it this way: it’s like what happens when a person’s exuberant swim in the Caribbean gets ravaged by shark teeth. The love of learning is damaged or killed. Teaching to tests is deadly.
Sharky: I see you’ve learned my methods well, Watson.
Watson: Actually, Sharky, it was more about getting passionate about Web2.0’s paradigm of learning.
