izombie spoilers! thoughts about the izombieverse rules

so... what I’m curious about is how do zombies heal exactly? Do they heal? Because in the beginning, Liv had Ravi pull out a bullet from her chest and didn’t he say something about not sewing her up or something? (cant remember specifically) and then there was Blaine, who had his neck slit, but after a while he didn’t have the neck slice mark on his neck anymore. is this an in continuity thing like something were they didn’t want to do the makeup again or is it just that zombies just need brains to heal? because before blaine came in to the morgue to get brains, he had the neck slice mark, but after, it was gone. zombies healing only when they have brains would make sense with the other zombies (the ones that look and act like real zombies) because those zombies haven’t had brains and thus (in theory, and because they’re zombies) would decay because they are dead and dont have the brains they need to heal themselves. I would really like more clarification in the show on this. Maybe they find out or something through stolen research from max rager? thoughts? opinions? let me know what you guys think.

Brainy & SIT Wall!

The Brainy Wall is finally up:

That's how it looks unlocked.  And here it is in version 2.0 with Brainy Locks (which you can download on this site):

As you may be able to see, some of the locks come with a fancy "!" which means their is a bonus surprise hilarious picture when the brainy is unlocked.  The number in the right-hand corner tells how many keys are needed to unlock the Brainy.  

I'm pretty happy with my homemade Einstein Triangle, too! :)

Here's my finished Super Improver Team (note I only have 6

the moment, which is still enough to keep me crazy busy since they are behavior students!)  We'll fire this thing up on Monday.

Whole Brain Teaching is so much fun!

Brainy Lock Posters!

Just in time for the 2014-2015 school year:

The wait is over . . . Are you ready for something that you HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE?!!  I have made a product that will CHANGE BULLETIN BOARDS FOREVER.  (Bulletin boards 2.0, anyone?)

Brainy Lock Posters are a revolutionary way to systematically introduce each brainy SUPERCHARGED with funtricity.

Here's how it works:

Post your Brainy Posters on a large bulletin board or around your classroom.  Cover each brainy with its custom brainy lock.  Students then earn keys (by completing lessons, mind-soccer questions, super gestures or any way you'd like) to UNLOCK the Brainy poster.  Each key has a task related to the brainy for students to solve.

and for added fun, some posters come with a PRIZE: A HILARIOUS PHOTO!  

Did you ever think that a bulletin board could be so engaging, so inspiring!!! Let the woo's commence! :)

I have yet to put these up in my class, but as soon as I do, I will post pictures of how to set them up (this pdf also comes with instructions).  

Here's what you'll get:

           A Brainy Lock Poster for each of the 34 Brainies

           Keys (2,3 or 4) for each Brainy

           Hilarious Prize Photo Posters

           Instructions

Brainy Posters Galore!

Just in time for room-setup!  I made these for my class, but I thought ya'll might be able to use 'em, too. :)

First, I've taken the Brainies and made them into color-coded wall posters (legal sized)

Of course, these are 32 more where that came from!  Click here to download the posters (legal sized) in pdf form.

And here are the student desk-sheets which I'm planning on printing front to back.  Just for fun, I've made a PRIMARY, MIDDLE and HIGH school version (they're all in this pdf file: here.)

There are Beginner and Competition Brainies of each and look like this:

PRIMARY:

MIDDLE:

and HIGH:

I plan on printing these all from a discount online printer:

www.bestvaluecopy.com

and it should be fairly cheap. 

Brainies are going to SUPER-POWER our classrooms and PUMP UP the critical thinking!  I hope my old school building will be able to take it!  I'll also put these up on my TPT store when I get a chance. :)
