Keene chp. - 3

While reading chapter three i could not help but think about topics that i have fervently researched, learned about, and understood. Unfortunately, most of them are extracurricular, such as sports, hunting, truck parts, etc. So i have thought, through reading this chapter, what did i learn? Though not very educational content, i learned how i research and learn on my own. Doing so has helped me to research and learn about educational topics that have been required for classroom work. I feel that if students were given the opportunities to research, learn, and then present on topics of their choice, they would be able to understand how they learn best and understand. After doing this they could then use those techniques for their classroom work. i feel that far to often when children are given a task to accomplish, that requires research, they sometimes have no clue where to start, because they do not understand how they learn.
