Whole Brain Teaching Convention Rocks!

I have just had the most amazing experience of my life and met the most inspiring people. One thing we were taught was the five paragraph essay structure used by all grades, including Kindergarten. I have used this structure to explain some aspects of my trip.
 
My trip to the National Whole Brain Teaching Convention was challenging, enlightening, and exhilarating. It was challenging because I had never travelled that far without someone I knew. The information shared was enlightening because of the content, and the fact it was presented in such an amazing way. My time was exhilarating because everyday was a feast of new experiences.
 
It was challenging because I had never travelled that far without someone I knew. Meeting new people all the time really pushed me to extend myself by introducing myself to others and not being a wall flower. Organising things on the run also challenged me, especially the final days after my mentor left.
 
The information shared was enlightening because of the content, and the fact it was presented in such an amazing way. It was not a convention about Whole Brain Teaching, it was Whole Brain Teaching from beginning to end, everyday. Over 1,000 people in a room saying 'class, yes' and using 'mirror words' was something to see, hear, and do.
 
My time there was exhilarating because everyday was a feast of new experiences. I ate alligator, catfish and fried pickles. Two squirrels added extra value to my visit to Louisiana College. My eyes were overloaded with other new sights including, the fire hydrants, the houses, and the big cars.
 
My trip to the National Whole Brain Teaching Convention was challenging, enlightening, and exhilarating. I loved every minute of my time and would go again in a heartbeat. Whole Brain Teaching Rocks!
