MOP

The (Majestic) MOP Page:

Dialogues with your "My Other Persona" (MOP)--fictitious conversations you create--are where you will learn the most, and where your learning will really sink in.

By "explaining" a newly learned skill, and by thinking through questions about the skill, you will experience what all teachers know--you never learn something so well as when you teach it.

For more about why this seems to work, check out the commentary, "Mop Theory," found on the Language Ideas Page.

Directions:

One of the steps in the working area of the program asks you to create a conversation between you and an imaginary character.  

You may call your character anything, but the program refers to them in general as "My Other Persona"--"MOP" for short.

While MOP is an imaginary character, the more real you can make MOP in your mind, the more interesting and the easier the dialogue will be.

Some people (including the Program Author) may prefer to freewrite a description, giving lots of details, including the kinds of things listed on the form below.

If you're such a person, there is a large text area at the end of the form. Use it.

Fill in as much as you can.

You may skip some today, and return later after you've gotten to know your MOP a bit more. 

If you haven't already, take a look at the Program Author's MOP description, click: Program Author's MOP.
