“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough”

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough” is often attributed incorrectly to Albert Einstein, though he did say something similar.

In addition to your ten words final project, you are going to apply this quotation in class.

You will choose one concept from each of the Ways of Knowing and explain it to five year-old. Reddit has a series of videos called “Explain It Like I’m Five,” which provide good examples. You may perform in class, create a video, make animations using one of these easy tools; create comic strips using these tools; make a PowerPoint to go along with a presentation; use this Google Docs story tool, or do something else (that has to be approved by Mr. Ferlazzo).

Any performance, video or presentation should last no longer than four minutes.

You may work alone or in pairs.
