PLN#3*

In the article, A Ramble About Getting Reminded..., by David Warlick, it talks about how the people today go at everything without reading the instructions. He did a poll and asked how many people read the instructions before playing a game. 88% said no and 14% said yes. This also has to do with real life with every new task or thing that comes up. We don't really research it, we just go into it and learn from our mistakes. It talks about how his kid doesn't read how to play his new video game by instructions but by his experience and mistakes. This applies to our english class because when we're writing we don't really read about all the things we have to do, like literary elements, proper sentences, or correct grammer. We learn from our mistakes. We've done this since we were in elementary school and it has prepared us for our class this year and that will prepare us for our next years in the future. Our life is learned by mistakes and past experiences.
