Change Someone's Mind - Negotiating


On many occasions when I was teaching, the children hoped to change my mind regarding a decision I had made.  The ones who pleaded, begged or wheedled never succeeded.  Those who had acquired the skill of negotiation sometimes convinced me that a compromise was possible.

Make A List - Ephemera


Ephemera refers to printed materials that are meant to be discarded once they are used.  One common example is a program that is passed out at a play or concert.  But the paper liner on your fast-food tray is also ephemera.

How many examples can you name?
