Mojo

Episode one: A secret about the brain 

1-  Why dose Mojo want to leave school? Can you sometimes relate to how Mojo is feeling?

• Mojo in the beginning was a clever student specially in Math, during the time his subject got difficult and he couldn’t do it like before.

• I hade also sometimes have problem with the Math subject, when I can’t do it or made it I jus give up. 

2- What dose Katie say to Mojo to convince him not to leave?

• Katie says it is not like you think, you have to practice and to concentrate, Katie also tries to explain for Mojo about how our brain works. She encourages Mojo that he can be a smart student. 

3- Do you think Mojo can became smarter? Why or why not?

• I think Mojo can became a smart person in the future, because he understood what Katie explained for him about his brain and she encouraged Mojo to work hard and didn’t think he could do it. 

4- What subject do you feel frustrated by sometimes? Can you see yourself becoming smarter in that subject? How?

- I feel frustrated in many subjects but specially in Math, sometimes it is hard to solv some question. But I try and ask my teacher how to solv the problem. I have to work hard to become a smart person because t is not easy to be smart.  

Episode two- The magic of mistakes 

1- What does the quote from the video, mistakes can make you smarter mean to you?

- First of all I think those who didn’t make any mistake in life it means they never tried anything new. Making mistake means different thing to everyone, but for me mistake means learn new things. I learn a lot from my mistakes. A mistake dosen’t mean that I can’t do it.

2- How can we learn from our mistakes? Talk about a specific recent example. 

- Mistakes make us to try something many many times and our mistakes teach us the right way to make things. If we are sacred to make a mistake we will never learn and develop in our lives. Mistakes can make us to take new steps and make and our dreams become real. 

3- If you were building a robot and kept failing what would you do?

• If I were building a robot and failing always, of course I would get tired of it. But it is not the right way to leave it and don’t work on it. I will start to research what is the problem why the robot doesn’t work. I have to look at every part I did and make it right, by this way I learn from mistake and also my work will get finished successfully. 

Episode three- The power of ”yet”

1- What should you do if you are stuck on a project, math problem or other learning?

- It is hard for me sometimes to ask a friend for help of I get stuck on a project. But I ask my teacher to help me it feels good. Because I know the teacher will not tell me something embarrassing but friends will, not always but often. I have many experiences when I have asked for help and they said something embarrassing to me. 

2- Think of a time you were afraid to ask for help. Why did you feel afraid?

- I’m not afraid of asking something, but they make me afraid asking of help. Asking for help is not an embarrassing thing, I have to ask to learn otherwise I will never learn anything, As I said if i need help and ask a friend to help me, maybe she/he will say to another student and start laugh at me that is the reson sometimes I do not dare to ask for help.

3- Why is the word ”yet” so powerful? Think of a ”yet” moment i your life and describe it. 

• There is a lot of things that I want to learn and try but I can’t yet. I like to run in my free time and I always wish to run 10km. It is not working like you start running and run 10km from the beginning, during the time i learned that the point is, I have to exercise everyday maybe I can’t run yet but after while I will run 10km. ”yet” means this to me!

Episode four- The world of neurons

1- What are neurons and how do we make connections between our neurons?

- Neurons are small balls that are in your brain and every time you learn something new these get stronger and there will be more of them.

2- Think of an example where you made some new connections in your brain. What were you doing?

- When I try something many times than I realize that I learn and I make a connection in my brain. 

3- What can you do this week to make some new connections? Set one specific goal.

• Learning new words is also a connections. 

Episode five- Mojo puts it all together

1- What does if feel when something is too challenging? Is it wrong that we feel this way?

-  Challenging is the best way  to improve our brain and our ability. I think this is not wrong if something is too challenging, we have fight  hard to achieve  our dream and challenging is the best way.

2- What king attitude should we take in when facing a challenge, and why is that important?

- Dividing, dare, patience and have be full focus when something is too challenging. Dividing work in different parts this make project easier, we have to dare and don’t give upp and the last  one is patience, if we make a mistake than we  have to show patience instead giving upp and leave the project.  

3- When taking on a challenge, it’s okey to ask for help or to take o break to reflect, like Mojo did! Does this mean we aren’t growing our brain anymore?

- Asking for help is not means we aren’t growing our brain, the fact is we learn more and our brain make batter connection when we ask for help and learn from our mistake.

1- What is a dip?

- Dip means leave, dip is darkness we have to fight and work hard to get out of it into the brightness.

- When we get stuck in something, it can be in life, in school in some subjects or anything else.  

3- What kind of emotions accompany a dip, and how can we stay positive?

Episode two- Climbing out of the dip

1- What should do when you make a mistake?

- First try to find what have you done wrong, when you can’t do it you can ask for help someone who know a little bit  more than you or have experiences. by this way you will understand you done fault and you will get stronger too. 

2- What will happen if you continue to repeat this process? Try using the word ”neuron” in your explanation!

- If you repeat something more of course you will learn faster and your neuron will make a stronger connection with your brain, than it will be hard to forget it again, because you try many times and in your brain already save those things try tried. 

3- So how do we escape the dip? 

• As I said upper we have to fight and work hard otherwise it will make us weak. Staying positiv, thinking positiv and word hard will help us to come out of dip. 

Episode three- The big show

- It feel very good to come out from the dip, first we learn how to stay and work hard to come of it, we will have a lot of experiences in our life, our experiences maybe someday help someone else that maybe stuck in dip. 

2- often we want to be the best at what we are doing. Instead of comparing our success with others, what king of attitude can we have?

- As we know we are not in the some level everybody has  some skills that maybe no one else has, we can’t comparing as with someone else but we can push our self try, failing get up try again work and focus more in the end will can do it. But we have use that power that everybody have inside itself without comparing. 

3- In the video, Mojomus Edison says that failing is ”learning” new ways to improve ”What does that mean? 

- Failing and learning is like a new born child, he/she love to walk but they can’t but they try failing again and again in the end he start walking. Failing is leaning means this to me.
