 John Cleese Explains the Brain

 

1. After experiencing how John Cleese explains the brain, what have you learned about understanding ideas in a new language if you don't speak or understand the language?

We are ALL English Language Learners as our language is constantly invented and reinvented.

 

Everything we learn NEW has its own vocabulary that we need to know 

 

GOLF is a new language;

BIOLOGY is a new language;

PHYSICS is a new language; 

DANCE is a new language. 

 

 

 

 

Smartphone became a prominent word beginning in 1997 AND entered the dictionary:

 

  1. mobile phone that performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, internet access, and an operating system capable of running downloaded applications.

  BY USING MANY WORDS, PLAYING WITH WORDS, WRITING POETRY and identifying students as language creators using language in new ways in their writing and  conversations

 

 

6. What 2 or 3 new words are you using in conversations, texts, classes that you were NOT saying in high school?
