3 CAMFUS NEWS Author and child expert speaks at Meredith Levine speaks about teaching methods for dealing wKh exception al children. JENNA AUSTIN Staff Reporter Dr. Mel Levine, pediatri cian and author, was the distinguished speaker at Meredith on April 1 in Jones Auditorium. Levine spoke about his program called "All Kinds of Minds," his work with chil dren with certain writing and learning problems, and his new book. The hfyth of Laziness. "The children are very bright, but they often have trouble putting their ideas on paper," Levine said as he began his lecture on the seven different pathways of output and dysfunctions some students experience. One example of an out put disjunction that Levine gave was of an 11-year-old boy who won first place in the state on a geography exam but was failing social studies. When interviewed by Levine, the boy explained that it was like the message you sometimes get on your computer screen saying, "Printer is not connected." He simply did not have enough wires running from his hand to his brain, so he could not write out his ideas. This child, explained Levine, was an example of one with graphical motor dis junction, and a simple solu tion for this type of prob lem was having the student adjust his grip on the pen cil. The other six pathways of output are memory, lan guage, pre-frontal lobes, mental energy, organization and idealization. Levine is a summa cum World News Brief: The war in Iraq laude graduate of Brown University, as well a as Rhodes Scholar in Oxford, England. Later he graduat ed from Harvard Medical School but completed his degree at the Children's Hospital in Boston, Mass. Before becoming a resident of North Carolina, he worked at the Children's Hospital and at Harvard. He is the founder of “All Kinds of Minds” and has written nine books over the last 25 years.

And by rising bodily from the grave, he conquered death — not only for himself but for us. Listen to what he said: “He who hears my word and believes him who sent me. has eternal Ufe; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." (John 5:24) Jesus conquered dea^.
