Reflection on Chapter 3 Activity

This activity seemed like a big challenge at first! However, my team was excellent. The easy part was deciding how we would present the information. The hard part was taking the information we had read and relating it to education. As we discussed the the parts of the message that stood out to each of us, we were able to draw parallels between Pinks writing and education today. During this activity, we learned to listen to each other, accept others views, and take a risk to try something new. These are important life skills our students need to understand to succeed in today's workforce.

  1. I agree totally. My team also had a tough time deciding how we could relate it to education. The skills you used will definitely be important for our students to succeed in life.

  2. True...It stretched our group to decide what to do at first and for people to step up and begin the process. I think that is true with students, too. Analyzing the information, processing it, then responding requires time...something that we teachers feel crunched by.
