Here's something fun:

  1. Grab the book nearest to you.
  2. Open to page 23.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal (or in this thread's comments) along with these instructions.

From Foundations of Education: The challenge of Early Childhood Education. "Certification is not meant to covey the idea that a teacher is an expert or even exceptionally well qualified."

There were actually 2 books sitting here on my desk.

From Statistical Power Analysis: "This chapter and the next show how to transform a wide range of test statistics and effect size measures into F statistics, and how to use those F values in statistical power analysis."

From Einstein Never Used Flash Cards: "Neurons are serviced by 100 billion glial cells that nourish and modulate their activity."

From Power Screenwriting: "It is the subjective storyline behind all the action, dialogue and exposition unfolding onscreen."
