On
Wednesday, we watched a video on Sir Ken Robinson. He was a motivational speaker, originally from England. I have never heard of him before, but he pointed out very interesting fact that we don't really
analyze in our daily lives. For example, he was talking about watches and why people wear then when it only has one function, and that is telling time. But most of has cell phone now a days in this modern society and every cell phone has the time date and much more. But yet, it is a tendency to snap on a watch in the mornings. Also, that teens are less likely to wear a watch because they are too trapped into this superior, advanced technology. He spoke about finding your essential and finding the things that you are good at, which many people have not discovered yet and he calls that
dis-functional community.
Discovering your individuality, who you are and what you are capable of doing. Another interesting thing he mentioned was the 5 senses and the spooky and the most important one, which was the balance sense.
Our homework for Wednesday was to get 10 pictures and find one word that makes sense to all ten pictures, but shifts the meaning. I thought the one picture was challenging, but this one is more complicated but interesting.
Adjectives:
Harsh-ungentle and unpleasant in action or effect
brutal- Cruel, savage
Criticizable- to find fault
reeky- strong, unpleasant smell
Edgy-nervously irritable; impatient and anxious
sour- having an acid taste .

I LIKE YOUR ADJECTIVES THEY ARE INTERESTING.
ReplyDeleteI like with how you used some of the examples that was shown in the film into your blog. How watches can sometimes be misleading to certain people becuase nowadays you have the time everywhere you go from inside the cars to your ipods. I also agree with how he gave us the five senses and describe each one with an example that we use in everyday living.
