Gifted Awareness Week

This week is Gifted Awareness week and Katie has asked all of the kids at Enrich@ILT to write a blog that tells you what being 'Gifted means to us.' What I'm gifted in is Art and Writing. The bad part of being gifted is that at school, when I don't know the answer to a question people ask me why I go to Enrich and critisize me. The good part about being gifted is that I have the opportunity to go to Enrich. Another good thing about being gifted is that at Enrich I can get away from School and get challenged. I really enjoy going to Enrich because I get to work with 'Like Minds' and kids just like me.

My favourite model of giftedness would have to be Renzulli because it's simple and easy to understand. Renzulli thinks that to be gifted or talented you only have to have 3 things which are: Creativity, Above avrarage abilty and Task commitment. I have Creativity because I'm an Arty person and I like to think outside of the square, I have above avarage because I am better in some subjects that other people and I have task commitment because I like to stick to things until I get it done.
