For this week I just uploaded a new set of works of Leonardo da Vinci. Titles included are Annunciation, St John in the Wilderness (Bacchus), The Virgin and Child with St Anne, Madonna and Child with St Anne and the Young St John and Portrait of a Musician.

This is the link:
http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=3310

This is just one of my old files from my computer so I will also try to do the states for this week.


Previously I uploaded 10 other works of da Vinci with POIs. Here is that link.
http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=2973

I actually think that this covers most of his major works (not including sketches and sclupures) other than Female Head (La Scapigliata), Madonna Litta, La belle Ferroniere, The Baptism of Christ and Portrait of Cecilia Gallerani. So maybe I will get those done some time soon (unless someone else wants the project).

Hi all

I would love to join this group.  I can do Music.  But, what am I suppised to do? I haven't read the book about teaching EK. Do, I write about Musicians or kinds of Music? Can any one give me an example to follow? and are the files due by Saturday?

Hi Heath, We'd love to have you join.  For the Division of music Music the suggested categories are:

1. Musical Instruments
2. Musical Notes
3. Musical Symbols
4. Great Composers
5. Musical Intervals
6. Musical Chords
7. Great Singers
8. Great Performers
9. Ancient Musical Instruments
10. Musical Phrases

Here is an example from the book for how to do the musical instrument category.
Musical Instruments

Division: Music
Category: Musical Instruments
Set: Type of Instrument
Bit of Intelligence: Name
1st Magnitude: Type of instrument.
2nd Magnitude: Specific information about the type of instrument.
3rd Magnitude: How is the instrument played?
4th Magnitude: Specific information about how the instrument is played.
5th Magnitude: Parts of the instrument.
6th Magnitude: Specific information about a part of the instrument.
7th Magnitude: Where did the instrument originate?
8th Magnitude: What was the instrument's first role?
9th Magnitude: A further role of the instrument (may be associated with a famous figure in music).
10th Magnitude: The modern role of the instrument (in the orchestra or in some other area).

So for each bit of knowledge (for example an instrument) you would gather the information in each of these 10 magnitudes.  Then on the front of the card would be a picture and the back would be this information.  Each day you cover one of the magnitudes for each set in each of the divisions (up to 10) you are teaching. For other categories you would simply create 10 magnitudes of knowledge that make sense for that category. If you have difficulty formulating the Magnitudes of intelligence for one of the groups let us know and we can try to make one up together.

Here is some more information from the book about Programs of Intelligence:
1. A POI is accurate i.e. facts and not opinion.
2. A POI is worded as clearly as possible so as not to be misinterpreted.
3. They can be used to relate information to each other from different sets of divisions
4. POIs should be interesting
5. They should be familiar (i.e. children should be able to relate to them)
6. They should be amusing where appropriate

I would recommend checking your local library to see if they carry or can obtain the book or even purchasing it yourself as it is an excellent reference. 

Here it is on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Give-Your-Baby-Encyclopedic-Knowledge/dp/0757001823/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1230158616&sr=8-1

You can also find it at other online retailers used for only a few dollars. Good luck!

Yes, or you could do a power point like Texasmom does either way should be able to print so it ends up looking the same.  Also, don't forget to include the pictures. If you have any questions just look at one of the other files that have been uploaded for the format, and if you have other questions just let me know, and if you have trouble getting it done this week that's okay.  I know a lot of people are busy because of the holidays and you are starting later in the week.  So if you get it done this week wonderful. If not don't sweat it too much.

Okay, I just posted mine for this week.  It is "States (Kansas to Maryland)" with POIs. Still waiting approval. http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=3333

I'll just stick with the states until I finish them.  20 down, 30 to go. Seems kind of daunting when you think of it like that.

Sounds good. The first ones take the most time anyway as you are still getting used to the format.  We'll look forward to your files next week. Merry Christmas.

Hallo, everyone! Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to all! smile
This group sounds great! I'd love to join!
I have previously added some of the PPS presentations of famous artists, so anyone interested, you are welcome to check them out. I am also in the prosess of making new categories for cities of the world, I guess that could be under geography. Please, let me know how else I could contribute.
regards to all, leana

Leana, all you have to do is choose a category which hasn't been chosen yet and then create 5 Bits this week which have 10 programs of intelligence on the back of each (see links above for examples).  We'd love to have you.  Let us know what category you are interested in. Mathematics, Art, Literature and Language are available (assuming Heath wants to stay with instruments for next week, let me know is that's not the case).

These are what people have signed up for so far:
Mathematics
Art
Geography - Linzy
Literature
Language
Science - Texaslady
Biology - Mum
Music - Heath
Human Physiology - Nbailey
History - Tatianna

Heath, Wow really great file.  The only recommendation I have for you is to include the name of the instrument in each magnitude. For instance instead of "It was developed in Europe" you could write "The trombone was developed in Europe". That way when you are only reading that magnitude you are reinforcing to your child what the name of the instrument is. Remember, you will only be reading one magnitude at a time as you are teaching. Also the mellophone magnitude 7 was a little confusing to me, maybe if you said why it was particularly important it would be more clear. The only other thing I would do in future files is try to keep the magnitudes short, however I know when you have interesting info that can be really hard and I have the same problem (so that is something to shoot for, but not imperative). Thanks for the file, do you want to keep doing instruments or change to something else?

Here is the link to Heath's file:

Thank you Linzy for taking time to check out my file and for giving me all the tips.  I will modify my file and will try to be short from next time.  As you said it is hard to be short.  I will continue to do the instruments.

In the meantime I uploaded a POI on Presidents of United States.  I hope I am not stepping on somebody's toes.  I had this half finished file even before this group started.  But, the information was not in an order. After doing the Music instruments file, I got some experience in making POI's, so I started modifying it.  Right before posting it I saw Linzy's comments so I took some more time and redid most of the stuff.

This Doc contains the first five Presidents of the US.  Here's the link
