Dear Lovelies,
Today's TED Talk can be accessed HERE. While I found the rhetor to have some gaps in her logic, I did appreciate her main tenet that we each possess an attribution bias that can lead to internally or externally crafting narratives that cast us as the victim or hero in our stories.
We engage in daily fiction and become defensive in critical learning situations such as when our core beliefs and values are questioned.
Metacognition, or basically thinking about thinking, can prevent a lot of default settings or habituated learning patterns. The more times you bump into something, the more apparent it is that you still have something to learn.
I'm excited that tomorrow is going to be a READING DAY. Scream it from the rooftops and come to class ready to read. If you borrowed a copy of the book, I need them all back by 1st period please.
Love and Light,
Beltran

The TED talk was a little hard to swallow at points, but never the less informative. I am excited to read the essays again tomorrow! -Bryce Alvar
