BLINK

Blink by Malcolm Gladwell

Good book with some interesting potential applications for testing. 

 I was thinking of applying this to what we do immediately before we give a test. 

How does that "set up" (if we do any)- impact our students to do their best.

BLINK is a fast read.  It gives the science behind why Gibb's gut works on NCIS.

Does anyone have a ritual to get their students in a good frame of mind to test well.

For a while I was handing out peppermint / or / cinnamin gum with their unit tests.

I have to admit it did not seem to help.

Suggestions???
