Reading Johnson on Style


Johnson defines Style as the clarity and connection an author has with the audience. They way that a writing “sounds”, may or may not be effective, like in a speech. When words are carefully chosen and arranged with clarity, work on people like “magic”.

Johnson describes teaching style as actors and musicians do, with outmost discipline, yet playing with words to reach out and convey a point with clarity.  
I think it is important to me, and I plan to use it on my research. The author introduces a very challenging subject for most students in a fun/playful style. And that is a link that many teachers neglect. Making the curriculum interesting for students to connect with and learn easily.
