Humor, Visuals, and
Conversation Prompts

Learners absorb material significantly better with images compared to text alone. Visuals improve learning up to 400%.

Learners exposed to humorous material recall information better, even weeks or months later, compared to non-humorous content.

Effective prompts can help learners verbalize their understanding, identify knowledge gaps, and solidify comprehension with peer support.

Each of the 40+ sections contains:

  • A story-rich image containing both obvious and implied dangerous or aggressive behaviors
  • Thoughtful conversation prompts for individuals to think or write about, or for small groups to explore and discuss
  • A funny limerick to help point out the pitfalls of the behavior in that section.
