In the meantime, he began to work on his armor, he went to down and bought a jousting stick, he was almost ready. Time began to go into double time. It was like in a blink of the eye and it was the day of the match. Tybalt stood in front of the stadium, painted in white and gold, the crowds noise blaring out into the street. Sir…

That habit of mind is independence. Independence is an independent learner who takes on the next challenge, learns from mistakes, motivated by feedback, makes effective effort, enjoys practice, sticks to an idea, takes risks, and asks specific questions when needed.

In Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath argue that the six criteria of stickiness make every idea more memorable and powerful. They target business-leaders, policy-makers, and teachers.

Or were they tormenting the soldiers? The colonists were shouting cruel and horrifying threats. According to Captain…

There were a group of ten Monks who explained their history, language, communications, and dance/performances verbally and through body language, which was phenomenal. What really caught my eyes was that they were different from our culture, and it was fascinating to learn and understand other cultures. Overall, I learned many things from this show.…

So, I said that I would hit with a big stick on the ground if he didn’t shut up, he didn’t so I picked a big stick off the ground and wacked him straight in the head. I was in trouble because I was weak as a child and I am weak now, and I was about to get whooped. So I ran down…

Children played wooden playsets with cardboard characters and a play to perform. They could act through…
