Question 2
Miss Bellows is the music teacher, and she has begun to teach her students how to play the recorder. She teaches them some basic notes and they begin to practice. Marlene gets frustrated because she is struggling to get her fingers in the right position to play the simple tune she is supposed to learn, but Miss Bellows says, It's okay, Marlene. You're going to make some mistakes as you learn how to play. It's part of the learning process. I'm glad to see you trying so hard; you'll get it soon.. Miss Bellows' words are
a. effective, because accepting imperfect initial performance can be an important part of motivating students and her encouragement may cause Marlene to persevere.
b. effective, because no one is perfect, and Miss Bellows doesn't want Marlene to feel bad about herself.
c. ineffective, because the sooner Marlene learns how to hit each note correctly, the sooner she will have mastered the material.
d. ineffective, because giving this kind of feedback takes away from a student's ability to learn important life lessons about success and failure.
