Reflection 3

This week, we were exposed on “argument & evidence”. In this chapter, the lecturer has asked us read on the article entitled “Burning out at Nine” by Nadya Labi.

This article talks about a new study that suggests kids are overscheduled, overworked ~ and running out of time. In this article, the writer includes statistics and research results in order to support her arguments. From what I understand, the evidences that have been included are valid and reliable. Thus, it is easier to understand and accept the arguments stated.

In addition, I’ve also learnt that as a reader, I need to be critical of the evidence in every reading material so that I will not be blinded by words.

That’s all for now…

Daa….
