Answer 1

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

To reform the curriculum at the local high school to for the purpose of achieving a more balanced curriculum for both the left-brained and right-brained children and to encourage a more balanced development of their brains' hemispheres, i would recommend these activities to be added to the curriculum;

• Making up stories together and linking the pieces together that are told by each children to stimulate their creativity and imagination.
• A technique named pencil push-up where the pencil is held in front of the children's nose and moved towards the face until it is too close to the nose that it is seen as two pencils which stimulated both hemispheres of the brain.
• Trying to name as many words as they can in 60 seconds with the condition that the words starting with the same letter. This exercise would also help with their creativity and make the connection between the hemispheres stronger.
