How do humans learn new things?
-engagement in key
engagement – mind turned on, focus your attention on the
topic
-really critical
divided mind, divided attention – thinking about other
things qhile in a learning situtaiton, like a classroom
-really detrimetnal to learning
-cell phones very damaging to our learning
study – having a cell phone on the table while you are learning
reduces your ability to acquire new information
learning requires discomfort – in order to elanr something,
you have to strectch your comfort level, you have to push, challenge your normal
state of comfort in the world
e.g. we learn a new grammar topic
your turn to practice- challenge, uncomfortable part,
if it easy, we aren’t learning
scaffolding- educational concept
rising up from the ground level, level by level
we start at a level where we are comfortable, reach, stretch
up to the next level
-tough, not easy, work
-hard work
GOOD QUESTION FOR REFLECTION
What have you learned in the past nine weeks? What new level
of scaffolding have you reached?
What progress have you made?
-to measure our progress from then until now
-important to review if and how much we are stretching
toward our goals

MY ADVICE: Write every sentence as either simple, compound
or complex. You will always be ok.
In my editing business, all of the corrections I write are
simple, compound, and complex.
Practice. Daily practice.
You will be amazed at what you can accomplish in six months.
This is my advice from someone who cares about learning new
skills.
It works for me. It will work for you, too.
