HOW TO USE IT?
We feel that the best way to use our brain is to think and organize our mind basically in two ways: 1. logically, by approaching reality through problem
solving, 2. creatively, by inventing something which turns us
into kinds of «demiurges» in recombining the data of reality into newer and newer patterns and forms.

We generally think: to answer needs…

To satisfy all our needs an
intelligence is not enough…

How smart are we? Which intelligence do we use?

students’ learning «weather» prospects

Students’ brains are altered by important social experiences
occurring in the classroom and the school

LATINI DICUNT:«Mens sana
In corpore sano»
![Page 18: UDA SCIENCE «THE HUMAN BRAIN» English teacher: Miscia Roberta Liceo Scientifico «G. Galilei» Pescara A. S. 2013-14 Class: 3^ A](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032104/56649caf5503460f94973aed/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The complex nature of the social brain
• What can we expect of our developing social brain?
• How does it respond to small or large social gathering?
• How is our behaviour when we are in a social setting different from our
behaviour when we are alone?• Are there gender differences in our
social brain? Let’s explore…
![Page 19: UDA SCIENCE «THE HUMAN BRAIN» English teacher: Miscia Roberta Liceo Scientifico «G. Galilei» Pescara A. S. 2013-14 Class: 3^ A](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032104/56649caf5503460f94973aed/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
We have to consider…
• COGNITION• SOCIAL STRESS• SOCIAL BONDING• SOCIAL BIAS• PEER PRESSURE• SOCIAL DIFFICULTIES
![Page 20: UDA SCIENCE «THE HUMAN BRAIN» English teacher: Miscia Roberta Liceo Scientifico «G. Galilei» Pescara A. S. 2013-14 Class: 3^ A](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032104/56649caf5503460f94973aed/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
We must take into account that:- the brain matures slowly and often does not complete maturity until we are in our teens and 20s;- to develop social cognitive skills students have to
spend some part of their learning time in groups; - options for grouping: pair-share, competitions,
simulations, cooperative groups and structure social time for discussion;
- social play has an important role in the classroom: it regulates stress, improves creativity, forges social bonds, decision making, and introduces codes of conduct.

COMMON SOURCES OF DEMOTIVATION
* lack of positive relationship * perception of threats * brain anomalies * drug use * perception that class assignments or tasks are irrelevant * lack of psychological support
![Page 22: UDA SCIENCE «THE HUMAN BRAIN» English teacher: Miscia Roberta Liceo Scientifico «G. Galilei» Pescara A. S. 2013-14 Class: 3^ A](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032104/56649caf5503460f94973aed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How can we motivate students?
In what ways is the brain naturally motivated from within?Through:* rewards (natural to the brain),* a meaningful appropriate curriculum,* the choice of positive social grouping,* a supportive environment.

Summing up…2 «golden rules»:
1. BE POSITIVE2. HELP STUDENTS TO THINK POSITIVELY
SO THEY WILL SUCCEED IN TRUSTING THEIR OWN CAPABILITIES!!
We can do great things:
«THINKING» HOW TO WORK TOGETHER!

The brain is the most complicated part of the
human body, and yet less is known about it than any
other part. It is quite small (a normal human brain weighs about one kilogram) and a bigger brain does not mean
a better brain.

QUESTION:
- HOW MANY BRAINS DO WE HAVE? ONE OR TWO?
ANSWER: - IT IS EASY: OF COURSE WE HAVE JUST ONE BRAIN BUT IT IS DIVIDED INTO TWO EMISPHERES
