AART repeatedly said it's not about how pretty your kid draw or how many words your kid write, it is about demonstrating critical thinking skills.  They even told you in the orientation what those skills are, see link above.

For example, for mind mapping, your sample can show a drawing that organizes different information in a creative way.  Again, it's not about how pretty it is, it's about how they think.

Lesson:  find out what the requirement is, and prepare accordingly.  Don't just invent requirements that feels right to you.   [/quote]

Your link leads to a page about Level I services in FCPS.  This sub forum on DCUM, and this thread, generally discuss the AAP program, and more specifically, the competitive-entry Level IV program.

Specifically, your link leads to

“ Critical and Creative Thinking Strategies, Grades K-6 (Level I).     Level I services are open access and a part of the curriculum for all students. Teachers embed critical and creative thinking strategies in lessons across all subject areas and grade levels.”

But I believe you already know that, PP, and are just trolling.[/quote]

This PP keeps referring to the 9 strategies on that page, and they are not wrong. AAP entry at least used to focus on advanced utilization of those 9 strategies. Certainly emphasizing them in write-ups is something AARTs have encouraged over the years.[/quote]
