[quote=Anonymous]The work sample should demonstrate your child has advanced abilities in the "nine thinking strategies"

Please read the link carefully, such as 
Questioning, Mind Mapping (organizing information), Point of View (shifting POV), .....

The AART specifically talked about the thinking strategies.  I know we all assume they look for "creative/imaginative" work samples, but in fact the school already broke down the vague "creative/imaginative" thinking into these thinking strategies.

I saw my child's school work sample, they were created specifically for these "thinking strategies", one sample was reading a book about how people, dog, cat, mice see a bird, the child has to write something based on the book and some question prompt.  This corresponds to the POV.

About mind mapping, AART said a child drew a garden and labeled everything with English and Spanish words.  That shows how she organize information.
