  • Inattentive ADD: Just Like Winnie the Pooh
    The 6 types of ADD according to Dr. Amen Tiggers Like to Bounce... Bouncin' is What Tiggers Do Best! We call this type of ADHD "Tigger Type." Classic ADHD is characterized by Inattention, Impulsivity, Hyperactivity, Restlessness, and Disorganization. This type of ADHD reminds us of Tigger from the Winnie the Pooh stories. Dr. Daniel Amen refers to this type of ADHD as "Classic ADHD" for good reasons. When you think about someone who has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, this is the classic picture that you think of. Those with this type of ADHD are often seen as: • Being easily distracted • Has a LOT of energy, and is perhaps Hyperactive • Can't sit still very long • Is figety Talks a LOT, and can be LOUD • Is very impulsive, does not think before he acts • Has trouble waiting his turn in line, or in games and more... Tigger Type ADHD results from UNDERACTIVITY in the Prefrontal Cortex, both when at rest, and when performing concentration tasks. This type of ADHD is most often seen in males. Inattentive ADD: Just Like Winnie the Pooh Winnie the Pooh is the classic picture of Inattentive ADHD. In other works we have called this "Space Cadet" style ADHD. Dr. Daniel Amen refers to this as "Inattentive ADD". These are people that suffer from "brain fog" as they go through their day. Although Pooh is very lovable and kind, he is also inattentive, sluggish, slow-moving, unmotivated. He is a classic daydreamer. People with this type of ADHD are often seen as being: • Easily distracted • Having short attention spans to a task that is not interesting, or is hard • Daydreams when others are talking to him/her • A person who cannot find anything that they have just put down somewhere..

  • The History of Winnie-The-Pooh Who Is Winnie-The-Pooh? Winnie-The-Pooh Is a Well-Loved Teddy Bear That Was Created by the Author Alan Alexander Milne – Or A
    The History of Winnie-the-Pooh Who is Winnie-the-Pooh? Winnie-the-Pooh is a well-loved teddy bear that was created by the author Alan Alexander Milne – or A. A. Milne as he is known. A. A. Milne wrote the stories about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends for his son, Christopher Robin, after he heard Christopher inventing voices for his toys. A. A. Milne named the boy in the book Christopher Robin too! Ernest H Shepard did the beautiful illustrations for all the storybooks. In the Beginning At first, the teddy bear that Christopher had was called Edward Bear. However, during a trip to London Zoo, A. A. Milne and his family met a Canadian black bear called ‘Winnie’, who they were allowed to feed. The bear had a sweet tooth and liked condensed milk more than meat! Christopher Milne loved the bear and so Edward bear became Winnie bear. The ‘Pooh’ part of the name was then also added on – it came from a swan called ‘Pooh’ that Milne had met on holiday!

  • It Occurred to Pooh and Piglet That They Hadn't Heard from Eeyore For
    It occurred to Pooh and Piglet that they hadn't heard from Eeyore for several days, so they put on their hats and coats and trotted across the Hundred Acre Wood to Eeyore's house. Inside the house was Eeyore. "Hello Eeyore," said Pooh. "Hello Pooh. Hello Piglet" said Eeyore, in a Glum sounding voice. "We just thought we'd check on you," said Piglet, "because we hadn't heard from you, and so we wanted to know if you were okay." Eeyore was silent for a moment. "Am I okay?" he asked, eventually. "Well, I don't know, to be honest. Are any of us really okay? That's what I ask myself. All I can tell you, Pooh and Piglet, is that right now I feel really rather Sad, and Alone, and Not Much Fun To Be Around At All. Which is why I haven't bothered you. Because you wouldn't want to waste your time hanging out with someone who is Sad, and Alone, and Not Much Fun To Be Around At All, would you now." Pooh looked and Piglet, and Piglet looked at Pooh, and they both sat down, one on either side of Eeyore in his stick house. Eeyore looked at them in surprise. "What are you doing?" "We're sitting here with you," said Pooh, "because we are your friends. And true friends don't care if someone is feeling Sad, or Alone, or Not Much Fun To Be Around At All. True friends are there for you anyway. And so here we are." "Oh," said Eeyore.

  • Winnie the Pooh Study Guide
    PLAZA THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS Winnie the Pooh Study Guide Dear Teacher: We have created the following study guide to help make your students’ theater experience with Winnie the Pooh as meaningful as possible. For many, it will be their first time viewing a live theatrical production. We have learned that when teachers discuss the play with their students before and after the production, the experience is more significant and long-lasting. Our study guide provides pre- and post-performance discussion topics, as well as related activity sheets. These are just suggestions. Please feel free to create your own activities and areas for discussion. We hope you and your class enjoy the show! Background In 1926, A.A. Milne wrote Winnie-the-Pooh for his son, Christopher Robin Milne. On his first birthday, Christopher received a stuffed toy he called Edward, and who was later re-named Winnie (after a black bear at the London zoo), and Pooh (after a swan, as mentioned in a poem in Milne’s When We Were Very Young.) Other characters in the story were based on Christopher’s other stuffed animals, including the donkey Eeyore, Kanga and Baby Roo, and Piglet. Owl and Rabbit were inspired by animals who lived in the forest nearby. Illustrator Ernest H. Shepard based the look of his drawings on Christopher Robin Milne and his toys. The original stuffed animals are currently on display at New York City’s Donnell Public Library. Pre-Performance Discussion 1. Read A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh with your students. Much of the dialogue (and many of the songs’ lyrics) come directly from Milne’s writing, and children will enjoy hearing the familiar words and turns of phrase.

More e books at Http://books.jakhira.com Pageͳ Winnie The Pooh – A. A. Milne INTRODUCTION IF you happen to have read another book about Christopher Robin, you may remember that he once had a swan (or the swan had Christopher Robin, I don't know which) and that he used to call this swan Pooh. That was a long time ago, and when we said good-bye, we took the name with us, as we didn't think the swan would want it any more. Well, when Edward Bear said that he would like an exciting name all to himself, Christopher Robin said at once, without stopping to think, that he was Winnie-the-Pooh. And he was. So, as I have explained the Pooh part, I will now explain the rest of it. You can't be in London for long without going to the Zoo. There are some people who begin the Zoo at the beginning, called WAYIN, and walk as quickly as they can past every cage until they get to the one called WAYOUT, but the nicest people go straight to the animal they love the most, and stay there. So when Christopher Robin goes to the Zoo, he goes to where the Polar Bears are, and he whispers something to the third keeper from the left, and doors are unlocked, and we wander through dark passages and up steep stairs, until at last we come to the special cage, and the cage is opened, and out trots something brown and furry, and with a happy cry of "Oh, Bear!" Christopher Robin rushes into its arms.

  • WINNIE the POOH KIDS Character Breakdown
    WINNIE THE POOH KIDS Character Breakdown Seven Narrators The Seven Narrators - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet - introduce us to the Hundred Acre Wood and help tell our story. These non-singing roles are perfect for your strong actors who can speak clearly and make good eye contact with the audience. Gender: Any Winnie The Pooh Winnie the Pooh is a bear with very little brain. His good heart and love of honey will capture your audience's hearts as he helps his friends find Christopher Robin. Must be a strong singer, as Pooh has several solo lines. Gender: Male Pooh's Tummy Pooh's Tummy is the endearing - but very hungry - part of Pooh! The Tummy does not have any spoken lines and may be a great role for performers new to theater. Gender: Any Tigger Tigger is a tiger and a bundle of energy. He is fiercely loyal, never stops bouncing and is always up for an adventure. Must bring a big personality and a lot of excitement to the role. While a good singer will have a fun time with Tigger's song, it is most important that the personality of this character comes through. Gender: Male Piglet Piglet is a shy and quiet pig. He is often afraid of his own shadow but is also incredibly smart and noble and a great problem solver. Must be able to portray at the timid side of Piglet while projecting his or her voice and personality to the audience. Piglet's solo lines are perfect for a singer with a sweet voice.
