Book Respone to "Boys and Girls Learn Differently"

Overall I thought you guys did an awesome job. I loved how your presentation was more hands on than just you guys standing up there telling us what the book was about. Through your activities you showed us what the book was about. I thought it was very clever how you only told half the class to dress the same, while not telling the other half. It showed to me how in middle school students are judged so much on what they wear, and more learning can take place when students don't have to worry about being picked on in class. Even though I was a little mad that I didn't get a stress ball, that activity showed how different boys are than girls when it comes to paying attention to a lecture. I usually take notes because it helps me pay attention in class, but that same strategy doesn't work for guys. By far my favorite activity was the human knot. It was a great example of how different guys and girls really are. It would have been great if we could of had a team of all guys and a team of all girls, but the point was still shown. The guys did more of a trial and error method, where the girls had to think it out first. Because of this I am leaning toward have separate math classes. It just seems like the most differences are in math. Great job on the book presentation!
