To teach children about the oceans, it is suggested that they write about cleaning a fish (tapping the linguistic intelligence), draw a sea creature (spatial), "role play" a sea creature (bodily-kinesthetic), use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast ships (logical), tap glasses with different amounts of water (musical), design a water vehicle in a group (interpersonal) and choose a favorite sea creature (intrapersonal).

The wrought iron chandeliers, with yellow lanterns in place of bulbs, hang like copies of Aleksandr Rodchenko's Spatial Constructions. Apparently, Yo-Yo Ma et al are satisfied with Anago's sexy new image. However, with its arrival onto the scene, the prices have gone up and the quality of the food has gone down; Anago is trying too hard to reconcile profile with taste...
