That last theory offers the possibility that teachers may be able to use gesture to help school-age kids solidify old ideas and learn new ones. In separate research, Goldin-Meadow found that when children were asked to solve and explain a series of math problems, those who were asked to gesture while they did so were more likely to learn new problem-solving strategies and perform better on future math problems than were kids who did not use gestures. Goldin-Meadow believes that prompting children to gesture gives them the ability to express ideas they had never been able...
Time and again, biologists are finding that Darwin had it right: evolution is the best way to explain the patterns of nature. "You just can't even start to make sense of all this data without a framework of evolution," says Günter Wagner, an evolutionary biologist at Yale University...
...think in some ways dating outside the humanities fulfils the purpose of the Core Curriculum,” she told me.

After ten seconds of silence, you should (start a slow clap/judge a book by its cover—with special reference to color and texture/live like you were dyin’/pretend the section is a crashing plane; choose whom you would rescue and explain why, without explaining the scenario/give the signal for Mariachi Veritas to take it away!).But not every section is a match made in heaven.

He has been shot in the spine and is dying in an underground tunnel, and his final thoughts are beautiful in their own respect. But his story serves only to explain Termite’s condition, as Leavitt’s dying vision becomes the telepathic stimulus for the images Termite draws. Termite’s back story gives him a sort of religious aura, the potency of which is explicated (and thereby diminished) when Lark says straight...
