Showing tenacity

Yesterday we thought more about what we needed to do develop our passions into talents. We watched the trailer for a documentary that follows a group of students hoping to have a career  in dance. Tenacity, not giving up when something is difficult, is talked about in the clip as being the most important quality in a dancer.

How have you shown tenacity in your learning this week? Give an example.

One of the students in our class said you needed to practice a skill three times before you can learn it. Do you agree? Why?

What do you think drives the dancers to practice for hours and hours a day?

  4. Hi Stephanie
    I think I have shown tenacity in my work this week because I didn't give up when I was trying to do place value with decimals.

    I don't agree because you need to practice something for a thousand hours before you become an expert.

    I think the want to become a great and famous dancer drives them to work for hours a day.

  10. Dear Stephanie,

    I have learned a new way of seeing decimals this week. I do agree with practising the skill three times because makes perfect. I think being famous and doing something great in their lives is what drives them to practise for hours.

    1.yes when I was practicing my Guitar and I couldn't get the not's right but I still kept practicing and I got the notes right.
    2.No, because three times isn't nearly enough.
    3.Because you sometimes need to be flexabile to dance sometimes.

    1. I am not sure what to right for this question.
    2. No because it takes lots of hours of practice allmost everyday if you want to be good at it.
    3. Because some might enjoy what they are doing and never giving up on their dreams.
