I used to ride horses when i was younger. The first time that i did, I did not know anything about how to ride or what to do. I used active learning by jumping on and figuring it out as I went. I watched others ride and soon enough, others were watching me for guidance. 
2. I used to play softball, at the beginning of this experience, I knew nothing about the game. I saw everyone hitting the ball, but I did not know any of the rules. When it was my turn, i began to swing. After swinging, i spent the rest of the season learning the rules. I then began to understand the concept of the games based off of my other teammates performance. ]]> 2021-01-25 16:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/awatson916/uxekqddaarm7kkc8/wish/1122762611 awatson916 https://padlet.com/awatson916/uxekqddaarm7kkc8/wish/1122764779 1. Math was always my favorite subject in school. I learned easy multiplication pretty easily, and when it was time for the more complex probloems, i would relect on the easier steps and use that knowlege to figure out the bigger/ harder problems. 
2. When my friends and I would get in arguments, it would always end the same. One  day, we all decided enough was enough and we began to reflect on past arguments and what lead us to failure. We learned that poor communication was the reason for causing the falling-out. After reflecting, we decided to communicate which solved the problem entirely. Reflection is essential to constructive learning. ]]> 2021-01-25 16:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/awatson916/uxekqddaarm7kkc8/wish/1122764779 awatson916 https://padlet.com/awatson916/uxekqddaarm7kkc8/wish/1122765996 1. In elementary school, my teachers would sometimes let us do group activities where we could converse and build off of each other's ideas. After building off of each others thoughts, we would be tested/quizzed independently. Because of this technique, I was able to get a different opinion about content and then was able to build upon the idea with my own conclusions. 
2. When i am torn between an idea, i will uaully ask someone for their advice. In the case of cooperative learning, it is essential to have conversation with another person and to build off of each other's ideas in order to make the best decision. This is the case when I need help deciding what to do. I talk to others and put both ideas together to make one single decision for myself. ]]> 2021-01-25 16:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/awatson916/uxekqddaarm7kkc8/wish/1122765996 awatson916 https://padlet.com/awatson916/uxekqddaarm7kkc8/wish/1122767091 1. Lessons that I learned in school (playing nice with others, using manners, etc) were essential to having a safe and resfectful learning environment. Since learning these, i was able to take the concepts into the world around me. This consists of playing nice with friends at home and being respectful to my parents and siblings. 
2. Doing word problems in grade school has many more postives then just learning how to complete the assignment. By taking what I learned in word problems and problem solving, i could enforce that into the real world and use my knowlege to solve real-life issues. This is helpful for any issue that I have. Problem solving skills are not only important in the class, but their effect goes way beyond that. ]]> 2021-01-25 16:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/awatson916/uxekqddaarm7kkc8/wish/1122767091 awatson916 https://padlet.com/awatson916/uxekqddaarm7kkc8/wish/1122768043 1. When doing my school work, i always do it to the best of my ability. If fail an assignment, i use intentional learning to reidrect my goal to passing the next assignment. Doing this will eventually allow me to do well in the class. Setting a goal helps me want to work harder to achieve it.
2. At the beginning of eeach week, I write down all of my due dates in my planner. In the past, I did not do this step which lead to me skipping assignments. Not writing down the assignments hurt my grade. Now that I chase my goal of doing well in class, I make sure to keep track of all of my work. This helps me to stay on track and leads me to success. ]]> 2021-01-25 16:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/awatson916/uxekqddaarm7kkc8/wish/1122768043
