Hello! Today I'm going to talk about a lecture called: "Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity".
First of all I would like to say that I like very much the video, is very interesting. I agree with him on all the things that he said. Some of the main ideas that I wrote about the lecture and that I think they are very important:
a) "If you are not prepare to be wrong you will never come with anything original". I think this is absolutely true, we are afraid to be wrong. If we make a mistake we are stigmatized, but this should not be like that, we have the right to be wrong in order to express our ideas, feelings, specially when children are starting their education.
b) In every educational system on earth matemathics and languages are on the top and arts at the bottom. Dance is not considered as music or arts.
I think that how to move your body is as important as learning english or maths. It helps you to develop your personality, for example a class of acting would be very useful. The prejudice is clearly reflected on our educational system. Sports and arts are usually considered as minor subjects in relation with chemestry or biology, for example. If you are going to study music or arts you won't earn money, therefore you have to study medicine or engineer.
c) "Our only hope to the future is to adopt a new concepcion of human ecology". I think that the example about insects and human beings is great. We have to change the way we think in order to have a better world and the children education is essential with regard to this matter.
In conclusion educational system should encourage creativy instead of undermine it. Another contribution to educational system could be the more interaction between teachers and students, in my opinion a class should be more as a dialog betweeen the agents rather than a lecture.
That's all I can say about the video, we should do more activities like this one.
Bye!

Carolina,
ReplyDeleteThat’s why I insist that you, students participate regardless of your mistakes. The most important thing is that you create something with the language.
Thank you for your suggestion.
And now allow me to point out some of your “creative” mistakes:

Hello! Today I'm going to talk about a lecture called: "Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity".
First of all I would like to say that I like the video very much(WORD ORDER),IT is very interesting. I agree with him on all the things that he said. HERE ARE some of the main ideas that I wrote about the lecture and that I think they are very important:
a) "If you are not preparED to be wrong you will never come UP with anything original". I think this is absolutely true, we are afraid to be wrong. If we make a mistake we are stigmatized, but this should not be like that, we have the right to be wrong in order to express our ideas, feelings, specially when children are starting their education.
b) In every educational system on earth matemathics and languages are on the top and arts at the bottom. Dance is not HIGHLY considered, THE SAME as music AND arts.
I think that how to move your body is as important as learning English or maths. It helps you to develop your personality, for example a class of acting would be very useful. The prejudice is clearly reflected on our educational system. Sports and arts are usually considered as minor subjects in relation TO chemestry or biology, for example. PEOPLE INSIST THAT if you are going to study music or arts you won't earn money, therefore you have to study medicine or engineer.
c) "Our only hope to the future is to adopt a new concepcion of human ecology". I think that the example about insects and human beings is great. We have to change the way we think in order to have a better world and EDUCATING children is essential with regard to this matter.
In conclusion OUR educational system should encourage creativy instead of underminING it. Another contribution to THE educational system could be ENCOURAGING more interaction between teachers and students. In my opinion a class should be more OF a dialog betweeen the agents rather than a lecture.
That's all I can say about the video, we should do more activities like this one.
