Left Vs. Right Whats The Difference?

• Turn to pages 2 and 3 of the notebook.
• In order for people to learn a concept, they
  must not only be introduced to it and practice
  it, but they must be able to take that
  information and use it to create something else
  they must implement it!

Left Vs. Right continued

  pages

  in to the brain

• Left pages are where the students show that they
  have processed information
