Language and the brain
The human brain is about 1.4 kg and contains over 100 billion neurons. It has four main lobes - frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital - which control functions like problem-solving, touch, hearing, and vision respectively. The two hemispheres of the brain, left and right, work together but have some specialized functions - the left hemisphere is more logical and analytical while the right is more intuitive and creative.

Quotes from Sir Ken Robinson’s 2013 TED talk
Ken Robinson’s talk “How to escape education's death valley” is one of my favorites. It was recorded in April of 2013. I highly recommend that you watch his latest talk on TED.com. The quotes I assembled for the talk are the one’s most salient to me personally. This is not an attempt to summarize his talk in anyway, but perhaps a quote or two will be useful for you in your own presentations related to education, etc. The slides are in PDF, but you can easily cut and paste text as you wish. You can of, course, get the entire transcript of the talk on the ted.com website (in many languages). Let’s keep the conversation regarding the education revolution going. peace - garr

Summary • The narrator introduces Aylmer as a brilliant scientist and natural philosopher who has abandoned his experiments for a while to marry the beautiful Georgiana. • The narrator explains that the birthmark in question is a red mark in the shape of a tiny hand on Georgiana’s left cheek. • Aylmer obsesses about the birthmark. For him, it symbolizes mortality and sin and comes to tower over Georgiana’s beauty in his mind. • They decide to move to the apartments where Aylmer has his laboratory • Between experiments, Aylmer tells Georgiana about alchemy • Georgiana realizes that Aylmer has been doctoring her food or making her inhale something in the air. • In her room, Georgiana thinks about how noble it is that Aylmer refuses to love her as she is, insisting instead to create his ideal version of her. • Gradually the birthmark fades. Georgiana wakes, sees herself in the mirror, and tells Aylmer not to feel bad about rejecting “the best the earth could offer.” • Then she dies.

Your thesis statement is the guiding force of your paper/essay!!! • Be specific! • Spell your point out Pretend we don’t know anything about your topic • Be flexible • Don’t be afraid to change your thesis if it doesn’t fit your paper
- 9.
