It was so good to see everyone again in class today. I really had so much fun with the jigsaw activity and the class discussion. I always enjoy listening to you all when it comes to sharing in the class discussion. I really like the jigsaw activity especially because it's part of cooperative learning. This is a great activity to do it with any grade level. I have to be honest, I came to class unprepared. I was not able to complete reading the chapter. Doing this jigsaw activity I was able to understand what the rest of the chapter was about. Thank you everyone for participating in this activity and also contributing during the class discussion. I am looking forward to our next face-to-face class session. Let us all have a great and safe weekend and keep in mind that "When language is acquired, whining is learned."
"Language is acquired, whining is learned" was my favorite quote of the night. Unlike whining, language is internalized and becomes a part of who we are as a person. It contributes to how we act & think. It also guides our social, emotional, and physical behaviors. Depending on where you are and who you talk to, language can also determine how others perceive us, as discussed in class tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhining on the other hand is a learned (and sometimes annoying) trait, and, thankfully, it I can be outgrown. Like language, whining can determine how others perceive you, however, is not as permanent as language. I see it as strategy used when trying to distract others from the real issue/topic at hand. It is a deterrent.
