Samantha Abeel's memoir

We have such students like Samantha in our classes. The most important thing is to identifier and help them were possible. Samantha  began to suffer anxiety attacks as she struggled with the pressures of junior high, from balancing schoolwork to remembering locker combinations, to social situations with her peers. She was a good artist,good in other subject and very creative. but the only problem was, she never had self confidence thus not believing in her self . This normally happen to some students fearing to make mistakes, so it is the duty of the teacher to employ an approach which can accommodate all students irrespective of their understanding and what ever. Authentic learning, Constructivism, Critical thinking and other are the answer to this.     

The first lesson totally defers from the second, in such a way that it is based on the classroom experience of Samantha talking about her weakness, and were her strength are. the second lesson is about her social life when they were sailing on the ship.      

The relationship between creativity, constructivism, and accommodation of difference.These three ideologies when put together can flip our class rooms, in other words they are compatible.  

Constructivisim requires learner to construct their own knowledge activities rather than just mechanically investing knowledge from teachers or text books.the teacher only encourage learners to constantly access the activity which help them to understand. Constructivisim needs a more collaborative way of learning. this give them a broadening tools to keep learning with a well planned classroom environment. 

On the same how ever creativity is the process of one having an original idea and transform it into visual idea. the learners should work with intensity and produce an incredible numbers of ideas. 

Accommodation of difference. when i relate it to Samantha's story, you find that she had some anomalies, as other learners my be having. We should have some room of tolerance.  learner understand differently, some need to first touch, others need to first see, others need to read a lot to understand,and so on. So all of these differences need to be accommodated not to isolate. 

I summary,learners need to be treated the some irrespective of their sex, behaviors, understanding, culture and so on. it is the only way to stay in harmony.
