Something you likely remember from those classes is laughter. Isn\u2019t it remarkable that we can look back 5, 10, 20 years and still remember that feeling?<\/p>\n<p>John Medina, developmental molecular biologist and author of <em>Brain Rules, <\/em><em>says<\/em>, \u201cAs you no doubt have noticed if you\u2019ve ever sat through a typical\u00a0 PowerPoint presentation,\u00a0 people don\u2019t pay attention to boring things\u00a0 (Brain\u00a0 Rule\u00a0 #6).\u00a0 You\u2019ve got seconds to grab someone\u2019s attention and only\u00a0 10\u00a0 minutes to keep it.\u00a0 At\u00a0 9\u00a0 minutes\u00a0 and\u00a0 59\u00a0 seconds,\u00a0 you\u00a0 must\u00a0 do\u00a0 something\u00a0 to\u00a0 regain\u00a0 attention\u00a0 and\u00a0 restart\u00a0 the\u00a0 clock\u2014something\u00a0 emotional\u00a0 and\u00a0 relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humor, specifically cartoons, can help you in the classroom.<\/p>\n<h3>But Why Cartoons?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s simple; cartoons are the easy button:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your students pay attention to cartoons because even captive audiences enjoy humor, and cartoons appeal to people whose attention span can be measured in nanoseconds.<\/li>\n<li>Laughter triggers a release of dopamine into our system, and dopamine improves our ability to remember.<\/li>\n<li>Graphics are fun to look at and draw the eye. And the puzzle of linking visuals with words to understand a joke kicks the brain into high gear.<\/li>\n<li>YOU don\u2019t have to be funny; cartoons do the work for you.

If you\u2019re a little iffy on your ability to grab your students\u2019 attention, cartoons can make your job easy.<\/p>\n<p>Using cartoons in the classroom helps you connect with your class, start conversation, and make complex topics easy to understand. The dopamine surge your students receive from laughter or the hint of something unexpected invites attention. Laughter feels good; if you can make them laugh, they will be more open to listening to your lesson and connect you and your class with positive emotions, which is great for memory.<\/p>\n<h3>Three Perfect Spots for Cartoons in your Lesson<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the very lowest of bars: keeping your students awake. Cartoons are one of the easiest ways to keep your class on their toes. Here are the best places to pepper your lesson with laughter:<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Icebreaker<br \/>\n<\/strong>After everyone has slowly settled in and shifted into class mode, surprise them with a quick laugh to get them interested in the lesson.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/cartoon?searchID=CX912718\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6827\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/CartoonStock_510291_CX912718.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/CartoonStock_510291_CX912718.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/CartoonStock_510291_CX912718-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/CartoonStock_510291_CX912718-768x948.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/a><strong>The Snooze Alarm<br \/>\n<\/strong>You did a great job getting everyone paying attention for the first few minutes. Alas, unless you have some really exciting information to share, slowly but surely, you\u2019ll notice your students sneaking a peek at their phones under the table or mindlessly doodling on your handouts. Shake them up with another, even more surprising cartoon. As those who are still paying attention begin to chuckle in surprise, eyes will shoot up, and the room will be back in your thrall, on high alert for more fun to come.\u00a0 Add as many snooze alarms as your content requires.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Mic Drop<br \/>\n<\/strong>Now that they are expecting it, you\u2019ve got to end on a laugh. Really hit it out of the park with a hilarious cartoon tied into your topic. This is the final impression they\u2019ll walk away with; make it a great one.
