Book Talk Blog: Team 4 - Boys and Girls Learn Differently

I think that this group did a good job of delivering the information from the book. I really liked having brains with our names on it and putting them on the female and male scale for where we thought we were and then took the test to find out where we really were. I was surprised by my results and thought the test was really interesting. I think that explaining how boys and girls learn differently can be shaky grounds due to sexist issues. I appreciate that the group stated that the book was a little contraditory in itself due to the fact that everyone's thinking can go on a scale like the one we did and some people can be in between male and female thinking but then the book goes on to explain how boys and girls learn differently. I can see how that is very contradictory. The stations were fun and the rite of passage was a great idea because kids these days don't experience any kind of rite of passage and it is important for kids to feel like they are progressing in life. This presentation was definitely a thumbs up.
