As a student, Baker was long bored by writing compositions. Later, however, hisattitude changed completely.

However, the assignment was still there as it used to be as well asMr. Fleagle. Nothing but his own understanding toward writing an essaychanged.2. Mr. Fleagle says “it’s of the very essence of the essay”, yet he gives no furtherexplanation. Think it over. What does he mean?After reading the class Baker’s essay, Mr. Flealge told the students “it’s of the very essence of the essay”. It was clear enough for the students tounderstand what the essence was. For they enjoued the essay so much thatthey should have got a clue of how to mke the essay. Just like what Baker haddone, to write as the things are and to write for your own joy, might be whatMr. Fleagle wants to illustrate.3. How do you understand the title” Writing for Myself”?To write for oneself may be a good way in making some certain articles such as essay pr poem and so on. For by reading such an essay, the readersexpect of nothing but of the author’s individual feelings toward certainmatters.Ⅳ.

Benjamin loved to carry the key around, shaking it vigorously. He also liked to try to place it into the slot. Because of his tender age and incomplete understanding of the need to position the key just so, he would usually fail. Benjamin was not bothered in the least. He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot. Now both Ellen and I were perfectly happy to allow Benjamin to bang the key near the key slot. His exploratory behavior seemed harmless enough. But I soon observed an interesting phenomenon. Any Chinese staff member nearby would come over to watch Benjamin and, noting his lack of initial success, attempt to assist. He or she would hold onto Benjamin's hand and, gently but firmly, guide it directly toward the slot, reposition it as necessary, and help him to insert it. The "teacher" would then smile somewhat expectantly at Ellen or me, as if awaiting a thank you — and on occasion would frown slightly, as if considering us to be neglecting our parental duties. I soon realized that this incident was directly relevant to our assigned tasks in China: to investigate the ways of early childhood education (especially in the arts), and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity. And so before long I began to introduce the key-slot anecdote into my discussions with Chinese educators.

From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3)The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.
