Visual (artistic - jacket cover), verbal and written. Actually two of them are written if done correctly. They are just trying to show the kids oral reports don't have to be boring... nudging their creative juices. I think they are trying to make it more interesting for the kids. The book cover is for those students that are more creative and less verbal. <BR/>Now the math thing has me puzzled... I know median and mean... all types of mean, but mode? Is that like what "mode" of transportation are you using? Type? Would that be "What you are measuring?"Cindrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431097470438458872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-38970440617291294102007-10-06T13:40:00.000-05:002007-10-06T13:40:00.000-05:00I know that with each generation, it becomes incre...I know that with each generation, it becomes increasingly harder to help a child with their homework.
