Word For Word
Like any good book these chapters are progressive and increasingly more concise after setting the stage and laying out the major ground rules. I liked the idea Right brain/left brain specific sentence structure feeding both halves strong clearly worded and visually relative information. More senses stimulated positively, a better response is elicited and the mind/body is able to better retain the information over a longer period of time. That idea also reminded me of a lesson i had last semester in how to structure an effective lesson plan leading it with a good anchor. Creating an anchor that stimulates both the right and left halves of the brain, and other senses as well, allows for a more relatable and memorable learning experience. The book touches on the importance of verbs in relation to languages. Having a solid "verb bank", as I've coined it, is key to better understanding and being very proficient with any language learned. As neglected as I often feel as a physical education major in these education courses, i browsed the content specific verbs and found a good relation to biology as those verbs are commonly used verbs in my content area of physical; all those "prefixes, suffixes and roots."

I really like some of the ideas you raise in this blog, though perhaps breaking up each major idea into a new paragraph would help organize this piece better? Also, I am interested in how this reading can directly relate to your teaching practice.
