Think Like an Expert (Day 1)

We looked up the definition of an expert: having or showing special skill or knowledge because of what you have been taught or what you have experienced.

Research shows that to become an expert, it requires either 10 years of experience in the specific field, or 10,000 hours of practicing a specific skill.  (Many students were disappointed that this means they are not officially experts at anything yet.)

We brainstormed ideas about what this looks like for musicians, mathematicians, doctors & poets.  We created a word wall, layering these aspects.  From this, we were able to draw connections to show what commonalities are shown across disciplines.
