Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Appling for DYS, Port. question

I am also applying with a portfolio (and math achievement tests of 99.9%) for our DS7 and have similar questions. Your movie sounds great! I have a bunch of dinosaur drawings from when our son was 3-5. I had annotated them because he wasn't writing yet. The Diplodocus from when he was three says, "He hasn't found a tree or a rock yet." Do I need to explain that scientists think the large herbivores ate rocks to help digest their food? He was the kid who would get upset at the dinosaur picture books because the T-rex was with the Stegosaurus. He used to point out that it should really be an Allosaurus since the T-rex and Stegosaurus didn't live in the same time periods. Of course, it sounded much better coming from a three year-old.

We also have video of him playing with his Lego mini-figures that he makes into Greek gods, Odysseus, and Lewis and Clark. The videos are very raw. I wasn't sure if I should ask him questions about what he's doing in the video, which is what I would do without the video?
