Explanation on a great learner

 Explanation on a great learner

For writing we have been working on explanation writing. Then we had to writ an explanation on what we think makes a great learner. So hear is my writing.

What makes a great learner?

Definition -  A learner is someone who gains skills or knowledge through practising, studying or being taught. But to be a great learner is someone who is Committed to their learning, there Organised they make sure they have the right equipment at the right place at the right time. Above all they are Persistent they give new things a go and when they fail they try and try again, they never give up. 

A great learner is committed to their learning, their studies and their work.  If you're committed to something like your learning  you're willing to make adjustments from where you are learning to how you are learning. For example if you committed to your piece of writing you will finish because you're committed and you want to finish, but if you aren’t committed to the writing you won’t finish the work you won’t care if you finish it. They have to be committed, if they aren’t they won’t finish their work, they won’t listen. They won’t learn. 

To be a Great learner you have to be organised for learning. To be organised for learning you have to have the right ejectment, Pens to write down notes, notebooks to write lessons on, so you can look back at it to refresh your memory of what you have learnt before a test.. A chrome or device to write assessments and essays. Another reason why you have to be organised is to make sure you are ready to get to class on time, so you don’t miss any of the learning. For example if you weren’t organise you could sleep in and have to rush to get ready and get to class, but you just miss the class and now you won’t know what you missed, then in a test about that thing you were supposed to learn in that class but you missed that class, so you fail the test.

Now one of the most important things about being a great learner is being persistent. Yes persistent, giving everything a go even if it is new, and if you fail you try again and again until you learn that new thing. This is an important attribute for a great learner. If a great learner wasn’t persistent they wouldn’t be a great learner and wouldn’t achieve much. Imagine if the Wright brothers were not persistent and gave up when the first Air plane they made didn’t work, if they had, we wouldn’t have air planes around today.

In conclusion I think the 3 most important traits you have to have to be a great learner is being committed to your learning, to be organised and above all being persistent never giving up even when it seems you should give up.
