reflective essay


What i did/im doing for my project one is showing how we learn through experience.
it it means like it says we learn by doing it experiencing it going through it. In my project im going to porve how we learn throught experience and also make my class mates expierce my point. im going to bring my accordion and play intros of songs (romantic/boleros, storries/corridos, and break up or downer songs) by playing music they dont know they will get a message accross by the rythim. for me an exapmle of that is when i started to listening to vallenato music or simply music from other places sometimes i dont know what they say but by the rythim i know if its a romantic song or not. when i play the intros of songs they are not going to know whats the song about but by the rythim they will now what type of song it is because they probably heard other romantic songs so by experiencing it before they will know what the song should be about. music is also another type of writting and reading like i mentioned we read the melody and lyircs and when we make a song or create the lyrics and rythim we are writting also another type of writting and music is a universal way of gettig messages across and not all writting is textual.given some of my personal expiriences and like i mention above we learn through experience and expeirncing things as a child we didnt know if some things we did were good or bad but our perents new and would spank us ur hut us in the hand so we would do it agian, im going to list and say several experiences and expamples. when i was like around like 13 i had a ps2 that i played liek 24/7 in summer and one summer with my grandma in mexico i was plaing and saw that it had alot of dust inside so i desided to open it up and clean it. well the essay part was taking it apart but the hard part was putting it back i had torn a cable that gave teh power or somthing like that and i had to go take it to some one to fix it. my p1arents found out i had broken it till the day it was ready they went with me to go pick it up and told me not to do that agian and to speak the truth to them so i leand not to mess around with things liek that and to say the truth to them. i also learned through experience when i was 4 my grnadfather teached me how to swim he gave en example on what to do and then help me do it by my self untill i got it i wouldnt of have learned by reading it txtual i would have been harder for me and probably would of done something wrong.i play/played the guitar and accoridon i had 2 ways of learning its either txtual or visual i would play the inturemts by reading the tabs it would tell me what cord or where to put my fingers and compared to a video tutorrial it would show you where to put it and get to se if ur doing it right and 1sounding right and also you would get the rythim out of it and you experience and if you do how it says ur doing it right. we can apply this theory to classrooms/class for example in most classes we take more than one test. when we take the first test and learn that we didnt do so well so when we se our scores we se how bad or good they are and that experience will shapes us in our learing/studying in the class and will make us work harder for a better score and teachers will help students learn but after all it all comes down to the student wether to create a new learning experience. I think teachers should create an eviroment where they are familiar with so they can create or reviese their learning experinces.
