It's interesting to note that my first "stop" came from the author telling us to "stop" here. I really like the author's line "So let's stop and take a few steps backward in order to go forward." This kind of logic of thinking is one that I really like and agree with. When we want to go forward or get stuck in a certain situation, the best way is to think backward and take a few steps backward in order to go forward. This kind of careful reflection can often help us to gain something valuable so that we can move forward in our growth. At the same time, when I read this sentence I really stopped with the author and wanted to follow the author's analysis, I think in my future classroom I can also say "Let's pause" before I want to analyze something or prevent students from getting more confused.
The next thing that struck me was the last sentence, when people get used to a certain way of thinking it is hard to open up and accept new ones. But creation can. Despite the global problems of resource scarcity and imbalanced consumption, we need to think of new and innovative ways (starting with small community gardens, for example) to solve our woes, rather than getting caught up in the sadness of the situation.
I tried to make the 7-Strand Double Braid with the thread I had at home but failed :(, because the video didn't show how they wound it around a stick (trying to see to understand it didn't make sense hahaha) but I mimicked winding the 7 strands in the same way as the video instruction and found that it's actually quite regular! But it's a bit of an eye-opener in doing it it's easy to wind it wrong.
