We're going into a new section of the course now, which might seem a little off-topic, but bear with me. New research shows that the brain is much more adaptable than was previously thought, and that it continues to grow and change throughout your life. The next few assignments relate to the structure and function of the brain, how the brain reacts to stress, and how mindset is related to student performance and achievement. The first step is to learn a little about the different parts of the brain, and how they relate to perception, thinking, and emotion.
Activity: Watch the video below from Bozeman Science about the structure and function of the brain. Using the information from the video, or other online resources, color and label the attached diagram of the brain. For each region you label, include a brief explanation of what that regions does.
Here is the diagram:
Assignment: Choose one of the brain regions you identified in the diagram, and write a thank you letter showing your appreciation for what that part of the brain does for you. Be sure to include the major functions of the particular brain region and why this is important to you. Your letter should be roughly a page long. Turn in your letter to your EF.
