Don't eat the marshmallow!
Today we watched a TED talk called Don't Eat The Marshmallow. It was about an experiment on leaving kids with a marshmallow, and asking them not to eat it. The experiment was to show what kids were good in school, and what kids didn't do very well. The kids that didn't eat the marshmallow were the kids that did good in school, and the kids that did eat it were the kids that didn't do very well. So if you eat the marshmallow, and don't have self control you will not be successfully in life. So you could either conttrol yourself or you could just eat the marshmallow and not really care. You had to be able to sit at a table with the marshmallow without eating it. Some of the kids they did the test on found very creative ways to eat the marshmallow. One little girl ate the inside or the marshmallow, thinking that they wouldn't notice.
Hahaha, that girl 'cracked' me up! Anyway, looks like both you and I took the same things away from todays lesson!

Uh-oh! I didn't notice any interjections in your post. I wonder if you would have eaten the marshmallow, I bet you would have.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the photo! YIKES! That crazy little girl could NOT get enough of that marshmallow, huh? I'm sure you can blame me, but I want to remind you to use your "voice" in your blog posts. That means I want you to find words to not only share your personality in your writing, but also your opinion. Did you like it? Did you agree with it? Why or why not?
ReplyDeleteThat was one of the best summery's in our class. I loved your way of explaining the experiment. I would love to be able to hear your voice in your writing, you could do that by adding interjections and oppinions. Great job, I always love reading your posts
