Response to Video
As I mentioned in class, I thought that the information about the brain and its ability to have memory was very interesting. As a biology teacher and an advocate for science, I never thought about the brain and their independent sections having the ability to remember things. I always thought that memory was housed in the hypothalamus and not all the sections of the brain. I also found that student who are hypersensitive usually live a life of high stress so even though they look composed in class, they are easily rattled.
I am glad you mentioned "even though they look composed" they are in this high state of anxiety. I never realized this about many students. Those kids with an IEP or 504 I do tend to be more aware of and yet often they snap at the littlest thing. I need to realize what might be little to me was a huge thing for them.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your reflection! I believe that all people have the potential to escalate to a primitive state. It is important to recognize this in others and in our selves.
