Since this entry is very last minute, let me first start out by saying that i have only skimmed Pratt's article, so if some of this doesn't make sense, sorry.
I loved her opening; her illustration of how many young people first begin to really learn is dead-on. As an education major, one of my classes revolves around teaching methods that work, and one of the points the teacher stresses to us is the importance of making learning interactive, and fun for the learner. Her scenerio clearly shows how the impact of learning is emphasized via things of the learner's interest. It also aims to show how even the most trivial things can be seen as a utilisation of many learned skills, such as math, geography, and history, as well as skills we learn through our family, such as organizational skills.
Like I said, I only skimmed over the article, but the first part was what i connected with the most, therefore thats what i chose to comment on.
