Hi! This is Gabby. I have noticed that everyone is working on their True Colors quiz and are sharing their results with their neighbors and their opinion if the quiz reflects their true personality...

I am a Gold and I feel that this is helpful because being very organized and structured I can pass this to my students and have them on the task during any given lesson.

Show of hands for agreement. Have Ss act out or move into groups to align with same answer partners. Grps. can be preselected or randomly assigned.

My mother named me Gabriela and shortened it to Gaby. I looked it up in a dictionary one day and found out that spelled that way it meant 'stupid fool'. From that day on I always spelled my name with 2 'b's.

I believe that one is motivated more by the desire to learn rather than getting good grades. If you are motivated to learn something becuase of a sincere interest you tend to retain the information better.
