Ch. 4 Outliers: The Story of Success
Quote: “Practical intelligence…It is procedural: it is about knowing how to do something without necessarily knowing why you know it or being able to explain it.” (100) I picked this quote because it refers to my previous post. I refer this “practical intelligence” as street smarts. This type is smarts is important for people to survive and achieve the most they can out of life.
Question: How can we add practical intelligence to our curriculum to aid in student’s life knowledge?
Connection: A connection I make in this chapter is when a wealthier child is at the doctors his and mother wants him to insert himself into the conversation about his health. I find this important for children to do. So often I hear parents answering questions for their kids. Whenever my mother is around my children she speaks for them and answers the question that I ask them. I have to tell her, “Let them answer for themselves.”
Epiphany/Aha: My Aha moment was reading about how important it is to teach my children to speak up and to raise them in an environment that would allow them to learn to question life.
Ch. 5 Outliers: The Story of Success
Quote: “But as is so often the case outliers, buried in that setback was a golden opportunity.” (123) I picked this quote because it shows the importance of how so many outliers have taken their setbacks and turned them around to make them an experience that will make them better.
Question: How can I show students that all experience can be turn positive and that we must learn from the past mistakes?
Connection: With families positive support the future generations can benefit from what their parents are doing. Many of my students have travel to our country as immigrants and have parents who are working extremely hard to make a better life for their children.
Epiphany/Aha: My Aha moment was seeing how these specific lawyers were made. These lawyers from this chapter come from family who had nothing and were able to their trades from native country to make lives for their children.
Ch. 6 Outliers: The Story of Success
Quote: “Cultural legacies are powerful forces. They have deep roots and long lives. They persist generation after generation, virtually intact, even as the economic and social and demographic conditions that spawned them have vanished….”(173) I pick this quote because it shows the importance behaviors good or bad can be passed down with cultural.
Question: How are these behaviors passed down from generation to generation, and how do we fix them?
Connection: As a teacher I have so often seen kids react almost unconsciously to insults and typically with violence. To now know that this might not be a conscious decision but behavior traits that have been passed down from generation upon generations.
Epiphany/Aha: My Aha moment is now knowing that I must implement social behavior modification training to my students to insure that they are learning the appropriate way to react to negative situations.
