Adults learn differently than children

What do you think of this statement?

• If you agree, how do you think they are different?
• If you don't agree, how are they the same?
• Hang on to this list. We will come back to it later.

Please take a few minutes to answer these questions in your notebook:

What was your goal in taking courses?
What interested you about learning?

Who decided that you should take this course?
What is your goal in taking this course?
What interests you in learning about this right now?

Look at your first answer... want to change it or keep it the same....
