Unit X | Educator Week Two |16/03/16

Working with people with special needs was discussed this week by Brian Frew. the understanding of time and patience required to connect tih these individuals became more cleaer to how they can learn effectively and what the change of being patience can do. after several personal stories shared by Brian, I felt a warm feeling to why these people deserve the same education as us but in a more caring way so that they take in the information in. During the talk, we were given things to play with for example, plasticine, pen, paper, small objects. These were provided for a small exerimne tto see how everyone taked in information in the talk. afterwards, we discussed whether we were distracted or whoich mehtof we preffered; sit and listen or doodle while listening. I feel like I listen better while making something.



Natural Environment

Urban Environment

Turned out that most of the children wanted to place their moth in the natural environment. I think this was because the tree was 3D and that the Urban environment didn't look appealing as it was black and whit and on a flat surface. either way, you could clearly see that the children understood which environment is good and which one is bad.
