The empirical research on reading rates I mentioned was a no-stakes version of this: “email me a picture of [cool animal].” I get cool pictures in my email, and I get a sense of how much explicit prompting I need to do with the class.

I’ve heard a long parade of “gotcha” stories like that NYT headline (no sub, sorry, couldn’t read article). They usually have a tone of “students are idiots;” I’m arguing for opening the door to “this communication isn’t effective.”
