1. “Brain Dominance and the way it affects the way you are”
Which side of the brain do you think with? In this lesson participants will learn which half of their brain is most dominant. By knowing this information students can adapt their learning strategies increasing success.

2. Are you right or left-eyed?
Try this…
Make a circle with your thumb and first finger. With both eyes open look at an object on the wall or in the distance, and center it inside the circle. Now close one eye, and then the other.
What’s happening?
When you closed your left or right eye you should have found that the object jumps outside the circle. If the object seemed to move when you closed your left eye, then you have left eye dominance. If the object moved more when your right eye was closed, then your right eye is the dominant one.

3. Is the right or left side of your brain more dominant?
