I ASK...

I'm going to ask one thing of each student who uses this book. There will be many opportunities to share your thoughts and comments with the whole class. I would feel badly if people used the opportunities presented by the activities in this book to put other people down. The purpose of this book is to build people up, not put them down. As I have written the activities, I have seen places where a student could easily say something harmful or helpful about other students. Example: When you classify people in your group, don't sort by attributes that would embarrass anyone.

Please be helpful, not hurtful.

Well, I told you some things about myself, my family and my history. Your assignment is to write to me and tell me about yourself. I can't answer every letter, but I will read them. I like stories about people who use their heads to solve problems. With your permission, I might use your stories in the final copy of this book.
