The reading WAS intense, and a bit dense to work through, though I didn't have too many questions to really ask:
1. It's mentioned on the second page that children have a small window of development when they are more receptive to learning things such as language, music, and art. Do you think it's more beneficial to really play up not only language lessons but lessons in art and music to foster more creative thinkers as they get older?
2. Is it important to continue activities that involve a student learning more about there chorotopos outside of the younger age range or would it be more up to the student to be seeking this information without aid from their teacher's activities?
3. Should we as teachers implement more outside activities integrated into our lessons (such as trips to local parks, beaches, etc.) to encourage students to learn more about their environment but local community?
I think it's important for the child to have as many influences pushing them towards involving themselves in their community. So having a teacher aid them, as well their family, friends, and selves couldn't hurt. I also believe that if a child is involved and interested in their own community and surrounding's, it may help them want to be involved with the world at large as their community.
ReplyDeleteI think teachers should try to implement more outside learning, if possible. Tanya's comment has me thinking now of ways to incorporate the students' families and other citizens of the community to get involved. I think it would be extremely beneficial to get the entire community involved in a meaningful learning experience for the students.
