What are my chances of getting into these universities...?

We Answered:

I would say your chances are very good. Strong GPA, strong test scores, extensive extra-curricular activity; I'd say you might even have what it takes to get into a school like Yale or Columbia if you really wanted. Just work hard on your apps for the schools that you want to go to and you should have no problem achieving your goals :)

We Answered:

It's hard to say. You certainly have an impressive and extensive repertoire, and enough background to support a major in theater. However, there are no "chances" when it comes to colleges. It doesn't work like, "If I have 'x', will I be accepted at ______?" Even the smartest kids don't all get into Yale, nor do the best musicians into Juliard, or the best lawyers into Harvard.

That said, you seem to certainly be on top of things. Just make sure you have a good applications essay and interview.

Using The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss, in a lesson plan for a child with a developmental delay?

We Answered:

One approach might be to read the book with the child and have him look for the various "word families" that repeat throughout the book. For example, cat, hat, sat, bat are all in the "-at" family; fish, dish, wish are all in the "-ish" family. It is often easier for a child to simply blend an initial consonant with the sound of that particular word family instead of blending the sounds of consonant-vowel-consonant. To use the obvious example, you can teach the child to read "hat" by having him sound out letter by letter (/h/- /a/- /t/) or you can teach him that "a-t" is "at", so he sounds out /h/-/at./ Obviously all the rhyming words make this a natural source of decoding by the word family method.

(BTW, even as a child I found the Cat in the Hat to be kind of creepy. It seemed scary to me that this reckless character could come uninvited into the house when your mother was away and cause all kinds of havoc under the guise of having fun. Guess I was too uptight, since the fish didn't die and everything got put back into order before the mom got home.)
