  13. Listen, Think, and Brainstorm about Education Assignment Topic

  14. A story about the purpose of education I am a fireman

  15. I am a fireman… • http://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_bring_on_the_revolution.html (9:20) Vocab: • “he didn’t take it seriously” • “he said I was throwing my life away” • “wasting my talent”

  16. I am a fireman • What does this story teach us about the purpose of education? • What did the man (in the story) want to become? • What did the man’s teacher think was important? • Are different purposes in conflict? Do you think that school serves the needs of some better than others? Other stories • In France, a mother was devastated when her daughter decided to go to nursing school. • In China, a mother refused to pay for college for her brilliant artistic daughter unless she went to business school.

  17. Think. • Discuss your reasons for pursing a college education. • Discuss your reason for studying abroad. Write down your schools’ reason for encouraging/requiring/offering study abroad. Are they the same? • Imagine that EVERYONE will get the same job after graduating high school. Everyone will have the same salary on the Starship Enterprise. What would a college education be worth to you? • Think back: Is there a significant event in your past—a defining moment? Think back: Did you have an influential teacher (positive or negative)? (e.g. the fireman)

  18. Brainstorm Either explore your ideas or consider activity (purpose/value) more deeply. See examples.

  19. Brainstorm IDEAS • Take an idea from the brainstorm and tie it to the purpose of education. • Take an activity and ask why you have the activity in the school. Then ask what the value is. (E.g., English from MS) • Take a purpose and then try to tie activities to the purpose. Also try to explore what the underlying value of the activity is. (e.g., Develop one’s identity)
