Step 5. Mark another point approximately 1 inch below the middle of
the horizontal line.Step 6. Connect the upper left point to this new point
Step 7. Connect the upper right point to this new point.
Like this.
Step 1. Draw 4 points that represent the 4 corners of a box or square, about two inches on a side.
What do you have?
A Star !!!
Question If I asked you to draw a star would
you need the step-by-step instructions?
Of course not !
So what’s the point?
And Start Seeing Stars !
Give people the ends and let them figure out
the means.
Bonus QuestionHow many stars were on
the previous page?
28How many guessed between 26 and 30?
RBA / OBAis about starting with ends
and working backward to means.
And the closing point….
So, for example,
Ask people to turn the curve on CHILD ABUSE RATES…..
Ask people to turn the curve on SCHOOL ATTENDANCE RATES…
Ask people to turn the curve on RATES OF AIR OR WATER POLLUTION….
AND LET THEM FIGURE OUT “HOW.”
THANKS !
