"Storytelling gives us the ability to tell everyone else what we've learned—or to tell everyone the story of our adventure, or about the adventures of the people we've met." (Grazer 40) #connection This passage resonates with me because I actively use social media to share my personal experiences and adventures with others. Through platforms like Instagram, I have the opportunity to share my journey, insights, lessons learned, and the encounters I've had along the way.

"still others may ask them to give up some measure of authority to which they believe they are entitled." (Wardle 3) #question Is it ever okay to stand up for your own values, even if it means going against the grain?

"But rather than adapting and changing to communicate more effectively in his workplace, Alan resisted and clung to his own ways of writing, causing conflict and break downs in the community of practice." (Wardle 6) #comment This made me think about how important it is to be adaptable and willing to learn when entering a new environment.

“The obligation to amuse and instruct myself was entirely my own, and people who didn’t know that were childish people, to be avoided if possible. Certainly not to be trusted. That episode cured me of boredom forever,and here and then over the years I was able to pass on the lesson to some remarkable student.” (Gatto 115)

#comment

I was surprised, I have never thought about it this way. When he said that the obligation to amuse myself was entirely my own; he was right. It is up to you to look for the environments in which you can flourish. It is entirely up to you to find something meaningful to yourself and something you find engaging.

“ Do we really need school? I don’t mean education, just forced schooling: six classes a day, five days a week, nine months a year, for twelve years. Is this deadly routine really necessary? And if so, for what?” (Gatto 116)

#connection

I completely agree with what he said regarding the necessity of learning so many unneeded subjects. Never mind; certain lessons are needed but only the fundamentals. I know some subjects do benefit us and are important for our education but there are certain life necessities we need to learn that I believe schools should teach. I was always told by my parents that everything you are taught in school you will need throughout your life but in this text Gatto explains how we are taught so many subjects that we don’t really need for our future.

#question

What exactly determines these threshold levels, and how do they impact participation within the community?

Since I think that what we should be learning in school should be relevant to our daily lives, I think that what Angela Corrales wrote in Column B is the most useful. For instance, how to handle finances or file taxes.

"The reason given for this enormous upheaval of family life & cultural traditions was, roughly speaking threefold: 1) To make good people. 2) To make good citizens. 3) To make each person his or her personal best." (Gatto 117)

"Curiosity can add zest to your life, and it can take you way beyond zest-it can enrich your whole sense of security, confidence, and well-being." (Grazer 9)

"Enculturate."

The process by which an individual learns the traditional content of a culture and assimilates its practices and values. (Warde 520)

I think column b is most useful because everyone uses social media and the connections made their by peter deemak was very good in connecting the quote to his own opinions.

As for me, column B will be the most useful in my opinion because I'm able to connect with some parts of some articles. Example, I can completely agree with my classmate Peter Deemak because social media is the place where everyone goes to "story tell", meaning expressing themselves in what they're doing, where they're going and how they're feeling.

Column A will be a good source of help. Analysis help give more ideas on certain topics and will keep me informed. More adaptiveness will be considered to the subject and source.

I agree with Angela as well as the education we are learning we should also be learning more of how to succeed outside of school. For example more education on how finance work how to create successful businesses and different ways succeeding in Life
