THATS true, at least to a point, for students at Layton's Whitesides Elementary, as well as schools in Farmington, Kaysville and an ever-increasin- g number elsewhere. The Great Brain program has students stimulated to new heights, whether it be in learning about leaping frogs to the far reaches of the globe, says Lynn Stoddard, principal of Whitesides Elementary School and orginiator of the program. IT'S STIMULATED stu- dents such as 5th grader Alisa Barton, who her father C. Bruce says is "allowed to do something she wants to do. We have so much rote learning--i- t is a stimulating, learning pro- cess. Perhaps more valuable than what they're actually learning, they become excited about learning." he told the ment has spread to her brothers and sisters. INTO HER second year in the program, Mr. Barton says this year we allowed our daughter to do everything. When we take a look at the presentations shes giving and know where she was last year and where she has come its (like) one nejgative turned positive. conThe Great Brains cept allows a student to select a subject area, hopefully one that's a little unusual and challenging. They fill out an official entry blank where they agree to "prepare a high quality list of questions to guide my search for information-addi- ng to the list as I probe deeper and deeper, study diligently at school, home and in the com-munit- y using libraries, teachers, parents and other sources. "KEEP A record of my re- find- ings and plan an interesting, creative way to share my new knowledge with others and let my teacher know when I am ready to make a Great Brain presentation. Four levels can be achieved aspiring by students--specialis- t, expert, mastermind and genius, awarded depending on depth reached by a student, Mr. Stoddard says, noting students immerse themselves for a month or two and prepare a presentation, similar to a knowledge recital where parents, friends and relatives are invited to hear the finished product, like a piano recital. PARENTS must agree to assist their student, with Mr. Barton indicating his involvement forced him to relate back to my childhood" as she pursued her studies. It may mean romping the marshes near the Great Salt Lake for frogs, as one students family did, and, in Mr. Barton's telling it. can draw an entire family closer, with Mrs. Barton indicating the other children for are preparing their Great Brain adventures. WHEN A student gives his presentation, he is judged by the teacher in two categories: gathering information and the presentation. In that formative area, questions, notes, reading, use of other resources and original thinking are cons- SUCH GOALS as improving giving students recognition and promoting bypstudy are hoped-fo- r roducts, with some students producing bibliographies that would rival those for a masters thesis, perhaps, as book after book is listed as source material. Over all else, a "winning attitude is stressed as possible for each child, Mr. Stod- self-estee- th idered. The presentation judges whether it was given loudly and clearly, in a student's own words, expression, enthusiasm, how interesting it was, use of visual aids, effort expended and time limit. The student is judged as a genuis or below depending on that combined effort, with a students picture taken, badge given and a visit made to the class by the principal, where dard emphasizes. Every child can become a great brain in something-th- at is one goal.

Nearly 200 have been involved at Whitesides so far this year with well over 100 wanting to participate in April. A Great Brain Show will be staged May 4, when of the projects should be completed. Other schools are starting credentials. THEY WEAR their badges with great pride, Mr. Stoddard says, indicating enthusiasm has swept through the school. A Great Brain award is given to participants, they are listed on a Great Brain honor roll. Parents will often come in and say they have a little time to work with their child on their Great Brain project, Mr. Stoddard continues.
