I missed class last week because of a migraine. This makes writing about class impossible. Instead I'll tell you about what I was thinking about.

A couple weeks ago we viewed a clip of a teacher doing a lesson on banking. Many of us said that the lesson went on too long. However, research tells us that we need to change activities with a frequency that correlates to their age. The basic formula is 1 minute per year and this can be stretched by a minute or two over their age. The lesson we viewed was only a ten minute clip of a longer lesson. This is not technically going over the limit. I think our problem was that by not being in the room we missed out on a lot of what was going on. Also the video was edited so how long was the lesson actually?

Just something that's been bothering me. Most 12-18 year olds can handle lessons of 20 minutes before a change. Why was that 10 minute lesson for adults not so successful to us?
