Part 3:
We see in the article that she uses different way’s to support her claim, first of using a book she co wrote. Without knowing that extensive study was being done to examine the relationship between curiosity and schools, I would have concurred that curiosity is often suppressed in schools. The studies conducted by university academics piqued my interest much. Children who are more inquisitive perform better academically, according to Wendy Berliner. The essay also taught me that having natural curiosity is more essential than staying focused and avoiding getting sidetracked. I want to study more about how children’s natural curiosity motivates them to learn and investigate a variety of subjects. What general changes could be made to the educational system to encourage increased curiosity?
Part 4:
The article is made to be convincing. She persuasively argues why the existing educational system does not support student learning and creativity by fusing facts from other sources. This is how she successfully makes his case. In order to captivate the reader and make her point, she also employs colorful language and vivid pictures. She is addressing parents and instructors of young children. As news articles belong to this genre, the author’s main argument is best communicated by presenting the readers with recent research.
Part 5:
“How well they behave, and how they perform seem much more important to many people in the educational communities. Often educational bureaucracies have shunted curiosity to the side.”
“Further, the researchers found that when it came to good school performance, the ability to stay focused and, for example, not be distracted by a thunderstorm, was less important than curiosity”
“As soon as they are at primary school they have to shut up and learn. It’s not the fault of teachers. They have so many targets to meet.”
Please write in the full wording: Part 3 Reflection, not just Part 3.
ONE BIG PROBLEM: in your Reflection all you do is re-state the Main Ideas (MIs) when instead you should be writing about WHAT YOU THINK? I want to see you own original thinking on what you just read. You are student, did you experience having your questions shut down? What do YOU MATTHEW think?
You write: We see in the article that she uses different way’s to support her claim, first of using a book she co wrote. [DMS — she never quotes her own book as source for information she presents]. Without knowing that extensive study was being done to examine the relationship between curiosity and schools, I would have concurred that curiosity is often suppressed in schools. [OK– you repeat the MI, but you don’t tell me what YOU MATTHEW thinki — WHY? Why do you think curiosity is suppressed? Tell me what YOU think — you have been a student did you feel that your curiosity was not encouraged by your teachers?] The studies conducted by university academics piqued my interest much. [WHY] Children who are more inquisitive perform better academically, according to Wendy Berliner. The essay also taught me that having natural curiosity is more essential than staying focused and avoiding getting sidetracked [you are just repeating the MI]
