05.28.2009 Greetings,
A kite, orange, with a streaming white tail high
in blue sky above old city
near dark green hills leading to mountains,
Yes, this particular kite's long string
is held by a young girl. She is happy. She is free flying her kite
loving its color, feeling the pull, the tension in her small hand
as the wind holds her kite.
She plays it out letting it flow.
Metta.
05.27.2009 Greetings,
We begin the final "test" portion for G4 kids today. Speaking. They have five topics.
They present in groups of three and the audience asks them questions, follow-up questions and curious questions about unique proteins found in the venom of Komodo dragons.
1. What is a rain forest? Why are they important?
2. Name some jobs people do in Indonesia.
3. Imagine you are a tourist. What would you like to know about a place?
4. You are planning a vacation to a new place this summer. What do you need to know? Talk about five ideas.
5. How can you learn about the past, about history?
6. Random bonus questions, like:
"Talk about the coolest thing you did in school this year."
"How does making a mind map help your intellect and creative instinct?"
"What is the difference between a fact and an opinion?"
"Explain your values on friendship."
"Is imagination more important than knowledge?"
Metta.
