First Day BBI07

W. Keith Sgrillo My name is William but I go by Keith. I am a teacher at Turner Middle School in Philadelphia. I taught 7th grade Social Studies and Literacy for 4 years and this past year I taught 8th grade Literacy. I am a father of a 7 year old son (Riliey), a brother, uncle, cousin, son, and a notoriously bad speller. I think that science as story telling and revising, of getting it less wrong is a great way for people to understand and interpret their own view of the world. Some good points of this idea are 1)it gives some understanding as to why things are ever changing 2) how we can understand changes in our selves 3) help children understand how they view their world and to accept changes/differences. One of the bad points is that it makes it difficult to overcome some of the concrete concepts that are still universally accpeted and still remain in a very complex global society.
