DAY 2 OF TEACHING.

Its another day/week of teaching. We had reflection on the past week’s work, and it was quiet good and I am sure everyone was pleased so far.

We moved on to the Introduction  to Academic Writing at level 4. We briefly looked at Bloom’s Taxonomy, which are hierarchical models used for classifying educational learning objectives in to levels of complexity and specification.

Bloom’s hierarchical models is to:

Create, by means of combining to make whole, that is by designing, constructing, developing and formulating.

Evaluate, which is to justify a stand/ decision in order for you to know how best things are done ,that is by arguing, defending, judging, and supporting.

Analyse, the way you analyse the more you create, that is  by differentiating, relating, compering examining experimenting and testing.

 Apply by implementing, solving, using and interpreting.

 Understand by classifying, discussing identifying recognising and reporting.

Remember,  is when recalling fact and concept, memorising , repeat, list and duplicate.

I learnt  that in doing academic writing, I should always use the third person and the introductory paragraph should always include or state  the purpose of the writing , that is  presenting the evidence. In doing this the examiner or the audience will gain more interest in reading your work or the article. writing in my own words demonstrate my understanding.

We looked at Respiratory System, the aims and learning outcomes.

The primary function is to provide our bodies with oxygen ( energy) and take away Carbon Dioxide (waste product).

Inspiration and expiration is the process known as gaseous exchange.

We have the Thoracic Cavity, that entails the thoracic vertebrae, the Upper( the Nasal cavity, Pharynx and the Larynx). The upper respiratory tract, transport air from the atmosphere into the body. Its purpose is to warm, filter and humidify inhaled air. Its structures or organs sit outside of the thoracic cavity, and the Lower Respiratory Tract (Trachea, Primary bronchi and the lungs), is within the thoracic cavity, the filtering and cleaning continues. Air is transported to the exact site of gas exchange. Its structures split into a network of intricate passages( Bronchi, bronchioles) to optimise gas exchange.
