LECTURE
During the first
part of Mr. Pausch lecture he mentioned football. When speaking about making
his dreams reality, football was a part of the dream even though he didn't make
it to the NFL football taught him something. Fundamentals and hard work is
something he said that stuck out to me. Knowing that if you don’t understand
the fundamentals that the extra things added want be effective. Pressing the
need for students to exercise hard work in the beginning of learning their
fundamentals, gives them a strong background in understanding that basic first
fancy second.
Ways that help
people realize how great they or. Showing people those things they do can make
other people happy. Being able to achieve your dreams and show your ability to
others induces encouragement. Encouragement is a wonderful tool that boost
students excitement to do there best. Achieving your dreams helping you become
self reflective is a where we want to be.
The best ways to
teach someone something is to let them think that there leaning something
different. Keeping a student entertained and enthused while learning something
hard is the legacy that Mr. pausch did not mine leaving behind. Once you start
something it begins to take a part of you to make you want to achieve bettter. He
often mentions things called brick walls. Telling us that brick walls don’t
come to stop you but they come to push you harder. They separate the ones that
want it badly from the people who don’t want it badly enough.
He would always
say this phrase "head fake". My definition that I receive from his
phrase was the best things taught or taught unexpectedly. As a teacher of any
kind I believe that this should always be in the back of our mind. That just
because you put a student on a specific task does not mean that, the task is
the only thing they will learn. That what you really need is the ability to
push through different situations.
"Fundamentals and hard work is something..." You have a plural subject so your verb and the pronoun something must also be plural. are things, not is something
ReplyDelete"Knowing that if you don’t understand the fundamentals that the extra things added want be effective." This is not a complete sentence. won't, not want
"Pressing the need for students to exercise hard work in the beginning of learning their fundamentals, gives them a strong background in understanding that basic first fancy second." I have no idea what this sentence means.
"Ways that help people realize how great they or." Not a complete sentence.
"Showing people those things they do can make other people happy." Not a complete sentence. Meaning unclear.
"Being able to achieve your dreams and show your ability to others induces encouragement." induces? The meaning of this sentence is unclear.
"is a wonderful tool that boost students excitement to do there best." boosts, bot boost; students'; not students
"Achieving your dreams helping you become self reflective is a where we want to be." Awkward. Meaning unclear.
"The best ways to teach someone something is to let them think that there leaning something different." way, not ways; they are, not there; learning, not leaning
"...that Mr. pausch did not mine leaving behind." Pausch, not Pausch; mind, not mine
"Once you start something it begins to take a part of you to make you want to achieve bettter." "...take a part of you"? Awkward, meaning unclear. better, not better
"Telling us that brick walls don’t come to stop you but they come to push you harder." "Come" is not the appropriate word in this sentence. Perhaps "are not there".
"My definition that I receive from his phrase was the best things taught or taught unexpectedly." Awkward. Think clearly about what you want to say. Maybe this: When Dr. Pausch uses the phrase "head fake" he means learning that takes place unexpectedly. For example.... You MUST provide and example for a reader to understand the meaning of the point you are attempting to make.
"That what you really need is the ability to push through different situations." Awkward. Unclear.
Unsatisfactory because of your writing. In addition, you only skimmed the surface of the many things that Dr. Pausch had to say about teaching and learning.
You have two options: 1) Go to the writing lab or 2) contact Richard Howell. I will send you his email address in an email. You MUST do one of these.
Ah. Randy Pausch. That was probably the most inspirational video I've ever seen. Anyhow, on to your writing. . .
ReplyDeleteI recommend a 2-step cure:
STEP 1
When you write, write as if you're talking to someone. Not like a buddy or anything like that, but write as if you were having an informal chat with a professor. It looks as if you're trying too hard, almost. These blog posts aren't speeches, and there's no need to try to write that way. Kick it down a notch or two, and just write what's on your mind.
STEP 2
Go back and read what you wrote out loud. When you read it out loud, pretend that you are actually saying it to someone, in person. Does it sound right? Does it come out right? Would that person look at you like you're crazy?
If yes, then go back and find everything that just didn't seem like something that you'd say to someone, and fix it it. Make it sound right.
If you don't really know what you want to say, then think about it some, and get a sheet of paper. While you're thinking about it, make out a "grocery list" of everything you want to talk about. Every item on that list is a paragraph!
Other than that, there's some very tiny little punctuation and spelling errors here and there, but as far as that stuff goes, you're doing good.
Hi Lamarsio. Mr. Pausch's emphasis on brick walls in our lives stood out to me too. We should teach students about brick walls and encourage them to persevere through tough times. As Dr. Strange has pointed out, you have several grammatical errors. For example, "Mr. Pausch lecture" in the first sentence should have been "Mr. Pausch's lecture" to show ownership. You used the word "there" in a sentence when it should have been "they're". Most of the mistakes are small and can usually be avoided if you proofread what you've written before you post. It appears you recognized several good points from the video, and I'm sure you will use some of these values in your classroom.
