Taking the concepts listed below, document one example of each that you have noted in your daily life. We learn these concepts by making them personally relevant, right? Explain to me why this example fits the concept listed. So, if you tell me a sensation, tell me why that qualifies as a sensation. Do not use examples in the book (I know what they are).
