Chapter+11

Which dimensions of complexity do you already have? Ellen: I am playful and energetic. Carrington: I am definitely energetic and restful because I can be full of energy one period at school then not want to do anything the next. I am also intelligent and naive because I am school smart but lots of people say I have absolutely no common sense. I am also humble and proud because I don't like it when people make a big deal about my achievements but I am really excited when I win stuff. Tyler: I am passinate and objective. Grant: I am intelligent and naive. Emily: I think I have a little of each. According to Tyler I am: "dumb" Grace Z: I think I am playful and disciplined. Sometimes I am very focused. Other times I'm as you could say "out the window". NOah: I am passinate and objective, yeah tyler

Do you agree or disagree with the statement: "If something is enjoyable,it can't be of much educational value." Give an example and explain why. Ellen: This is not true. I enjoy sports and you have to learn how to play them. Carrington: That is not true because there is many different types of education. You have to learn how to do sports some times and I enjoy learning more about basketball and softball. Tyler: That is not true because some people like school, unlike me. I love sports, basketball I would rather play basketball then go to school i would rather play basketball in school. Basketball has educational value. You learn about angles, directury, and gravity. While having fun! Grant: This is completely false. Educational value stands alone, while finding something enjoyable is something personal. I happen to enjoy Math, which clearly has educational value. Emily: I disagree. Art is fun and educational. Grace Z: I disagree. Many things that have educational value are very enjoyable. Noah: i disagree because such as in school there are some games that have us repeat how to do it or what it is

Did you agree or disagree with the author's veiw of inertia. Why or why not? Ellen: I agree because it is hard in the start of something new. Carrington: I agree because when I start new things I have a hard time wanting to do it at first because I don't love it, but once I really love it I do it all the time. Tyler: I don't agree because when you play basketball and take a rest, is that laziness? I will argue with anybody on it that it is not laziness. Grant: I don't agree because everyone needs a break. It is very monotonous to complete a lengthy task without any breaks for fun. I agree with Tyler, too. Emily: I agree. It is hardest in the beginning when starting an activity Grace Z: I agree. It is very difficult to start and begin learning new things. Noah: I agree I have a hard time to start a totally different thing and learn it
