 * Mastery of Communication**
 * Junior high teaching has definitely shaped my writing. Junior High students tend to ignore the written word as much as possible. It is necessary to "catch" their attention with some sort of "hook". I found this approach also works well with teachers. Recently I discovered ToonDoons.com. This site creates cartoons for the frustrated non-drawing population. It also takes boring material and makes it look cool! **
