Provide clear and identifiable examples of all three grade levels. Your examples should be individuals or organizations and all be drawn from the same activity or profession (i.e. comparing boxers to boxers, drivers to drivers, authors to authors, characters to characters, etc.) 2. You should provide detailed description of what qualifies each example as representing Grade 3, Grade 2, or Grade 1 of their respective pursuite or profession. 3.Your details should be a mix of both concrete and abstract (both physically observable and recognizable through their qualities, reception by others, or the impression they give. I wa wondering if you could give me a few examples for each. i tried searching on Google, but nothing came up. thanks. :] I read this essay in class too, and the teacher told us to write a paper on the three levels of teaching with these guidelines:

I also think you just have to sign up for the reality that something like 75% of humanity is going to be grade 3 thinkers, and 100% is going to be grade 3 on certain intellectual blind spots. It's the job of the other two levels to try to communicate their insights to them, and try to persuade.

While reading it I felt as if his own essay belonged in his grade 3 thinking. All his examples where highly emotionally based and from personal experiences. Perhaps I misunderstood, but thinking doesn't seem like definable thing, just something we "know", like consciences or time.

I too have long felt like a grade 2 thinker trapped in a grade 3 world. I have tried to progress to a grade one thinker, tried to capture that interest which has eluded me for many years. I seem to focus hard on the randomness of the grade 3 thinkers and the emotions that they stir among one another. I thought that i hated the masses, i thought i despised their inability to think. But i think what i hated/despised was the wasted potential, and also the self pity that has been festering and growing within me due to my realization. They say "ignorance is bliss" but they also say "knowledge is beauty". As i read this essay the part that spoke volumes to me was near the ending, when he encountered the small man in the hat. They conversation or (lack of) was amazing to read, like a ray of hope i felt the warm light of understanding. Even if we wander through the darkness of this world alone there are others that we can trust to be grade one thinkers. Even if we can't communicate the knowledge alone gives hope to the grade two thinkers in the depths of despair. I would rather open my eyes to the possibilities of beauty, than live blind in the impossibility of bliss. Thank you John, thank you Mr. Golding, and most of all thank you to all the grade one thinkers out there. may we have the pleasure of encountering one another someday. For that possible encounter is what keeps me going in life I read this essay today and i was completely astounded that there were others like me.
