Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.Read chapters listed below in John Medina Brain Rules and answer discussion questions (a paragraph for each bullet point) doesn’t have to be super longReading: John Medina Brain Ruleshttps://dl.icdst.org/pdfs/files3/b192292515163f2f4e3868dc5488b073.pdfChapter: (Introduction & Vision)Pick a sentence from one of the two chapters, quote it, then paraphrase it. Like this:”Far from being a camera, the brain is actively deconstructing the information given to it by the eyes, pushing it through a series of filters, and then reconstructing what it thinks it sees” (Medina 190). In other words, rather than seeing the world as if on video, we see it through a complex mental process of breaking down visual data, sorting it to different parts of our brains, and then reassembling the picture.
What would you say is a key concept in the introduction?
Share a link to the optical illusion you found, and try to link it to something Medina explains in his book.
Chapter: (Attention & Memory)You’ll be picking one of the options for each of the two questions below. Practice good citation habits whenever using the text!Pick one of the following questions to respond to about the Attention chapter. Work in at least one quote from the book:Why does Medina say we can’t multitask? Did he convince you? Why (not)?
Do you think Medina’s guide to presentations for attention could work in essays? How so?
Choose a piece of advice Medina gives in the attention chapter and explain how it could be applied in your life and/or writing.
Explain one of following concepts from “Memory” in your own words. Then suggest how the ideas could be applied in life/school.Declarative vs non declarative memory

Library vs detective models of retrieval
Fast consolidation vs slow consolidation

Relate your experience with your own exercise and/or sleep to a specific idea–explained in your own words but cited!–from Medina.
What is one thing you think high schools should do based on what Medina has to say in either “Exercise” or “Sleep?” Create an evidence sandwich (your choice of filling) to support your position.
Chapter: (Wiring & Sensory Integration) Pull a piece of evidence from the “Wiring” chapter and explain how it should inform a student’s or teacher’s behaviors in school.
Pull a piece of evidence from the “Sensory Integration” chapter and explain how it should inform a student’s or teacher’s behaviors in school.
Use the following questions to drive a freewrite where you follow your thoughts wherever they go for 10 minutes. So far, which of the “brain rules” seems most important to you? Why? Which can you most clearly connect to someone’s specific actions? Can you think of any problems in education (or other areas of life) that one or more brain rules could help you solve? Are you someone who enjoys debating and comparing answers, or do you prefer digging into a single side?
Chapter: (Stress) + Parker Pope article (https://www.nytimes.com/guides/well/how-to-deal-with-stress)How did Parker-Pope’s writing style compare to Medina’s? What’s something you could learn as a writer by considering her approach?
What’s the scariest thing you’ve learned about stress? What’s the most helpful?
