AA 5


Just solve for x
In this blog he was making his students use metaphors to help understand x and not just solve for x. He believes that if you can teach the student to understand x, the student will be able to solve for x. "Catch a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, you feed him for a life time." I think this would be a great metaphor for the blog. People tend to do better with stuff they know and understand rather just memorized.
Sketchy Portraits: 8th Grade Identity and Pencils
in this blog the writer was comparing the pencil to life. He said that the child's life goes from black and white to gray like the lead of a pencil. He uses several descriptive words to describe the pencil that could also be life or school.
He Just Likes the Class for the Pencils
he talks about how the class room is ran freely when everybody was following the rules but strict when they are disobeyed. He talked about a student that loved this class because the teacher listen to him, respected him, and was his friend.
The Medium Shapes the Learning
He said that we should use other tools like technology in our lesson plans and in the classroom. He said that it doesn't matter what we use, it will shape the life of the student, whether we realize it or not.
