Final Post

I agree with Stasia about not liking this book at first. When we first started reading it I dreaded it. To be honest, I didn't understand a lot of what Pink was saying. Just like Stasia, I started to underline my favorite pieces of the chapters and take notes on the side. This helped me with what I wanted to blog about and it helped me better understand what I was reading. Throughout the chapters I found more statements I could relate to and it made me think about some of the research that Pink provided. This book made me think in a totally different perspective. I would have never thought about some of the stuff Pink wrote about. Some of the stuff would have never crossed my mind. But after reading this book, it makes a lot of since. I have used some of these tactics with my preschoolers such as giving them choice and it has helped a lot. If someone would have told me about purpose and things like that, I would have agreed with them, but reading this book and the examples and research to go along with it all put everything into perspective and made me understand it a lot more. Also, just as Stasia stated, this would be a good source to use in an interview, and the answer can be supported by research.
