Comparing Franklin's Quotes 'Evolve Me And I Remember'

Decent Essays
The quote "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn" by Benjamin Franklin tells me that by just telling me without showing me will not let me learn anything. I agree with this quote because when a teacher or someone tells me something about an assignment or homework I will eventually forget about it but if some one teach it to me step by step and I write it down will let me remember. By writing down the notes that the teachers wrote down step by step and write it my own understanding will make me understand more about the lesson because who understands my writing more than myself. Also when writing on my notebook or planner will make you remember what needs to be

    Recognized as the father of Enlightenment, Benjamin Franklin’s views on Enlightenment serve to put in perspective the importance of going forward and not being a static nation. Within the greater ideals of Enlightenment, this need to “get on” comes through, for Franklin, with the perfectibility of man. That is to say that he tried to attain moral perfection. For instance, his thirteen virtues are proof of his desire to better himself and his fellowmen. Regardless of the importance he gives to the relationship between fellow men, he, and the Enlightenment theory in general, also advances that social conditioning guides the outcome of living a perfectible life.…

    Inquiry-based learning powered by technology "Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand" (Franklin). This old proverb tells us the essence of inquiry-based learning.
