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?
We are a fabulous class of learners from Tawa Intermediate in Wellington, New Zealand. Our teacher is Stephanie Thompson.

Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI 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.

Dear Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
