We talked about what would make a successful learner according to Lao-Tzu. At the end of class students were asked to spend 20 minutes tonight reading this excerpt from Plato’s Republic. Remember you do not need to finish it, as you will get time next class to do so. Also, remember, please AVOID doing the ‘efficient-student’ behaviors of looking up what the text means. I want you to practice what it means to learn from the text – not what it takes to have someone tell you what the text says. Thanks for just reading, reflecting, and writing down any questions that you have.
If you were absent, get the journal notes from a fellow classmate and spend time reacting to the points brought up in the discussion. Additionally, after reacting to the discussion notes, please reflect on if you think Lao-Tzu would agree with the IB Learner Profile. Justify your answer. Important Dates 9/10: Read the excerpt handed out in class for 20 minutes (don’t finish as you will get time the next day we meet), with thinking, commentary, questions and insights written down, either on the reading or on a separate sheet of paper Comments are closed.
