WORKSHEET
In this final worksheet page, Cosmos talks about the importance of practicing paying attention. It is not something that comes naturally to everyone.
Some of us are so easily distracted that we must work really hard at paying attention. The habit of just telling yourself to STOP when you catch yourself drifting off can help you to train yourself to
PAY ATTENTION.
1. What type of thinking would Dan have had if he had followed Cosmos’ instructions about how to pay attention?
Good Thinking
2. What type of behavior would Dan have had if he hadn’t misheard his teacher’s instructions?
Thumbs Up behavior
Paying attention seems like such a simple task. But it really does take effort for a lot of us. For some children it takes a great deal of effort and a lot of practice. Regardless of the effort necessary, an ability to pay attention can be one of the most important skills you can develop.
