    Why Don't We Listen Better? Book Review

    Peterson’s uses a variety of situation and scenarios to support a theory called the “flat brain theory of emotion.” Basically the author theorizes that emotion, both positive and negative, delay communication thus shaping relationships. According to Peterson we communicate using our stomach, heart, and brain. Each one affects the ability to recognize what is really happening during communication. He gives examples of how emotions outweighing each other and how they affect our vision, responses, and how we listen.

    Grandma Poss And Hush Book Report

    An important part of this assignment was to have the students engaged in the story. While reading the story I did several things that would keep the students engaged with Grandma Poss and Hush’s adventure. The first thing I did was I dressed up as Grandma Poss. I wore a purple apron with stars on it, glasses colorful socks, and white shoes, just like Grandma Poss wore in the story. Another this I did to keep the students engaged was have the students do movement or actions during the book. For example, every time a food was mentioned in the story the students would rub their tummies and say “Yummm”. I also had the students imitate several of the animals that were in the book, such as a kangaroo and a snake. I also had the students pretend…
