Campfire Space
What happens after any typical ‘story’ in class remains the business of the teacher. She will be measured not
only by her ability to motivate, but by the level of effort her exhortations inspire. Take away the campfire, and
you have suddenly weakened the teacher's hand considerably because without motivation, there is no
engagement, and without engagement, there is no learning.
