The Morning

"Who's turn is it now? Oh yes it's your turn Brianna" Katie wondered. I stepped up to the white battle team. I  reach out my hand but then stopped to think. I look at my team. Katie was giving me advice so I stepped a bit closer to her. Then I walked to the other side of the board to do it. We were having a  lesson of chess with 13 other girls. Katie was teaching us some more strategies of how to win a chess game. I learnt lots of things. Chess falls into the cornerstone of mental edge. After the chess lesson we looked at a Renzulli's model of giftedness. It included task commitment, creativity and above average ability. He believes that you HAVE TO have all three things to be gifted.  His model applies to adults mainly, but it was good for us to look at it as well.
