Makeshift Bubble Wand Meets Comm Class

One of my class teaching activities when lecturing on persuasion is for my kids to use two random items I bring from my house and create an infomercial using Monroe's Motivated Sequence. If you don't know what that is, google it.

This semester, my kids in groups of 4 had a Mason Jar ring that you use to close the jar and the blending thingy from my Kitchen Aid mixer. They had to figure out a pretend use for both of the items to be used together. 

One of my kiddos decided to make a bubble wand (mind you, I teach college kids) and disappeared from my class and returned several minutes later. He had a large Starbucks cup, filled it up with water and soap from the men's bathroom, uses the ring from the Mason Jar to blow bubbles. 

I thought it was absolutely adorable and hilarious all at the same time and it reminded me of the reasons why I teach. Watching kids-slash-young-adults "get it" 

and have a fun time learning. 

Makes me smile :)
