Re: Reflections on Letters
Developing a process:
Google cognitive dissonance
Going through a cognitive dissonance. The Fishbowl is new to everyone and a new way of thinking, therefore, my thoughts and attitude are inconsistent to how I normally work. It is a change in my techniques as a student that I have to adapt to. Creating a process that adds value.
Vocab:
Develop - grow or cause to grow and become more mature, advanced, or elaborate
Visualize - form a mental image of; imagine
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited 11/6:
Developing a Process
Google cognitive dissonance
Watch Youtube Video
“You are in the process of developing a process”
We’re creating our own way of learning and understanding through our use of the Fishbowl. We’re learning new syntax and ways to use that syntax to communicate our thoughts/ideas
PRACTICE: the actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method, as opposed to theories relating to it
PROCESS: a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end

Re: Reflections on Letters
Question on Fishbowl
Fishbowl is built on methodologies that provide us with a new way of learning. The beginning is filled with confusion, but that will eventually subside the more we dive in. We have to stick to it in order to succeed.
Vocab:
Chaos - complete disorder and confusion
Confusion - lack of understanding; uncertainty
Embrace - accept or support (a belief, theory, or change) willingly and enthusiastically
Resistance - the refusal to accept or comply with something

Re: Reflections on Letters
Re-structuring
Google “Criticism” - it is a pedagogical tool
CRITICISM - the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes; the analysis and judgement of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic work
→ evaluation, assessment, fault-finding, judgement, notation
Can be done in either a positive or negative manner
The pre-individual consists of the initial thoughts and feelings when it comes to a structure. Through criticism and varying perceptions that come from the interactions of opposing views, the pre-individual’s perception will change. This is where the fine tuning comes in and we see a change within syntax, allowing for a restructure. I think you can re-structure again and do better.
REVIEW, COURAGE, PRESUME, REPRESENT, PERCEPTION, CRISIS, SYNTAX, OPENING, MAKES, ENTRANCE, STANCE, ATTITUDE, EMPTY SPACE, DEPICTED, NUANCE, RE-STRUCTURE

CRISIS: a time of intense difficulty, trouble or danger
SYNTAX: the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language
OPENING: a beginning, an initial part

Re: Reflections on Letters
Watching and viewing the machine as a metaphor
The more work you do in the Fishbowl, the more you will understand and learn how to evolve your syntax.
Review the concepts, think about metaphor.
We’re learning from each other → from there we can improve upon ourselves and have a better understanding on differing perceptions so that we can transform our work.
WATCH, VIEW
---------------------------------------------------
Edited 11/6:
WATCH: follow closely or maintain an interest in
VIEW: the ability to see something or to be seen from a particular place

Re: Reflections on Letters
Reading the other’s posting
Read other’s posts without distraction, do it in a way to better yourself and your understanding. This will bring us to new words and viewpoints.
Fully immerse yourself within the text to dive deeper into its meaning.
The Fishbowl is like the unknown → it will provide everyone with a new experiential learning.
IMMERSE, DEEP, UNDERSTANDING, MODE, READING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMMERSE: involve oneself deeply in a particular activity or interest
DEEP: profound or penetrating in awareness or understanding
UNDERSTANDING: the power of abstract thought; intellect
MODE: a way or manner in which something occurs or is experienced, expressed, or done
READING: an interpretation; the action or skill of reading written or printed matter silently or aloud

Re: Reflections on Letters
New forms of intimacy and friendship
Google Anthony Giddens
Social meeting exercise provided us with newly formed friendships to better understand our group members, and create a bond that will assist us throughout our assignments during the semester
“The development of some form of friendship is inherent in success”
We need to make connections through our everyday life. In our jobs, schooling, or overall networking, this is an important aspect in order to succeed and grow.
INTIMACY: close familiarity or friendship; closeness
AGENCY: action or intervention, especially such as to produce a particular effect
EMOTION: a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others
CREATIVITY: the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work
SELF: a person’s essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action
FORM: a particular way in which a thing exists or appears; a manifestation
FRIENDSHIP: the emotions or conduct of friends; the state of being friends

Re: Reflections on Letters
Being in a state of becoming
Google Deleuze
Understanding of Strictly Ballroom - Scott was in a state of becoming as he learns to step away from the rules and create his own steps and way of living. He was influenced by Fran and her grandmother to learn new steps.
“It is not one of imitation or analogy, it is generative of a new way of being that is a function of influences rather that resemblances”
Scott was influenced by Fran and her grandmother to have a new way of being. He didn’t imitate them, but instead took what he learned to create his own way of being.
THEORY: a supposition or system of ideas intended to explain something
TERM: a word or phrase used to describe a thing or to express a concept, especially in a particular kind of language or branch of study
GENERATIVE: relating to or capable of production or reproduction
INFLUENCE: the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself
RESEMBLANCE: a way in which two or more things are alike
IMITATION: a thing intended to simulate or copy something else
ANALOGY: a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification
BECOMING: the process of coming to be something or of passing into a state

Re: Reflections on Letters
Why we teach each other
Communicating to a group that consists of people with different understandings, ideas, and narratives in a way that will unite everyone
We all have a commitment - to teach each other
If we do our jobs right we can learn as we teach, change the world, and change our perceptions
Bad teachers waste time - their own and those they are teaching
Good teachers competently teach - nothing amazing, but does the job
Great teacher give something from deep inside of themselves - do more than asked, learn more
All revolves around passion and care - we need to participate, question, and listen to learn from each other

Re: Reflections on Letters
Learning is an act of courage
We are learning from each other - understanding different viewpoints, but also creating a deeper understanding
More to learn as we compare/contrast our differences - the social meeting allows us to develop a new syntax
—> As we understand our groups better, we create a new meaning within the Fishbowl
“The question is: do you have courage?”
We must have courage to move forward and step into the unknown as we go further in the Fishbowl. If we don’t have the courage we won’t develop a new meaning, new words, or learn from each other
GOAL: the object of a person’s ambition or effort; an aim or desired result
POSSIBILITY: a thing that may happen or be the case
COURAGE:the ability to do something that frightens one
RE: about; concerning
MANTRA: a statement or slogan repeated frequently
LEARNING: the acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, study, or by being taught
CREATE: bring (something) into existence
STRUCTURE: the arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of something complex
DICHOTOMY: a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different
SYMBOL: a mark or character used as a conventional representation of an object, function, or process
JUXTAPOSITION: the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect
COMPARE: estimate, measure, or note the similarity or dissimilarity between
CONTRAST: compare in such a way as to emphasize differences

Constructing and creating knowledge content from a knowing experience
Google Brenda Laurel
Quote by Brenda Laurel, “In the ‘world of immersion’... but rather the construction of utterly personal experiences.”
→ Our social meeting exercise is a personal experience we share to others. The information we’ve gathered on the people we’ve met is then thought on and specific moments are selected and created into content that provide meaning on the experience as a whole.
GENERATIVE: denoting an approach to any field of linguistics that involves applying a finite set of rules to linguistic input in order to produce all and only the well-formed items of a language
FORMATION: a structure or arrangement of something
NASCENT: (especially of a process or organization) just coming into existence and beginning to display signs of future potential
TRANSMISSION: the action or process of transmitting something or the state of being transmitted
CONSTRUCTION: the creation or formation of an abstract entity
REMEMBER: have in or be able to bring to one’s mind an awareness of (someone or something that one has seen, known, or experienced in the past)
FORGET: put out of one’s mind; cease to think of or consider
KNOW: be aware of through observation, inquiry, or information
KNOWLEDGE: facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject
CONTENT: things that are held or included in something
CREATE: bring (something) into existence

Re: Reflections on Letters
Further reflection on your social meeting papers
“Insights, understanding, intuition, grasping -- they may all be classified as “soft thoughts” more closely associated with feeling and empathic sensibility.”
Soft thoughts → necessary for creativity; less concerned with finding the answer and is more spontaneous or unconstrained
Our social meeting involved understanding and insight towards our group members and their way of thinking. Instead of using the meeting to figure out a solution to how we will approach this semester, it was an open ended meeting where we got to know each other and form our own “soft thoughts” on how we will progress.
THOUGHT: an idea or opinion produced by thinking, or occurring suddenly in the mind
INSIGHT: the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing
UNDERSTANDING: the power of abstract thought, intellect
INTUITION: the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning
GRASP: get mental hold of; comprehend fully
FEELING: an emotional state or reaction
EMPATHY: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another
SENSIBILITY: the ability to appreciate and respond to complex emotional or aesthetic influences; sensitivity
EXPRESSION: a word or phrase, especially an idiomatic one, used to convey an idea
