First, I would like to respond to Marcy. I found the filling in the vowels intriguing. I went with stamp in bag rather than stomp on bug. I wonder what that says about me (left side?). John and I were trying to decide which side is dominant for us, and we both decided that we were equally divided. I think I am a little more right brained though, but I cannot create art. I can draw something that is pictured by picturing it in my head and "tracing" the outline.
I look to my right side to value those students who may not necessarily be getting all the linear, sequential stuff. I think it helps to realize that there are some students who really have a dominance. I wonder what would happen if school curriculum would allow each student to develop his or her dominant side. Would the world function more appropriately? Would we see more gifted students?
I was reading about the charter schools in the newspaper yesterday where some of this theory is put into practice. It seems to me that the more we allow students to use their dominant sides, the better students they will be.
