  2. Are we developing only half our brain power?Academic at the expense of personal abilities?Left brain: verbal Right brain: non-verbaldeals in parts deals in wholes • R brain images create meaning for understanding & applying knowledge & skills Learning activities target L brain

  3. How do we assemble information?In parts or wholes? What do you make of this picture? We use imagination to fill in information & opinion gaps as in eg. below: Algy met the bear. The bear met Algy. The bear was bulgy. The bulge was Algy.

  4. A MODEL TO ASSEMBLE INFORMATION & OPINION(Sage) supports both personal and academic development Formal communicative exchanges are planned & organised Clarity, Content, Conduct and Convention come together to express ideas to others 7 stages to information development Clarity making ideas clear And interesting IDEAS Record produce Recite arrange Refer compare Replay sequence in time Recount Introduce, describe, discuss Report Introduce, describe, discuss Relate setting, characters, actions ,results, reactions Content ideasrelevant for audience Conduct impression ideas make on others Convention rules governing the Exchange of ideas

COGS: Goal 1: 5 Sections: Clarity; Content; Convention; Conduct; Creative Writing Key Competencies (2006/962/EC,) are: effective communication & cultural awareness, learning how to learn, mathematical, digital, scientific & technological abilities, social & civic engagement, initiative & entrepreneurship. Transversal & academic competences are underpinned by communication Method: 5 x 2 hour workshops: 30 subjects: 3 groups: Active (COGS); passive & self- directed. Pre and post test data - Qualitative & Quantitative data
