John Green on Paper Towns and Why Learning is Awesome...
Some of us learn best in the classroom, and some of us ... well, we don't. But we still love to learn, to find out new things about the world and challenge our minds. We just need to find the right place to do it, and the right community to learn with. In this charming talk, author John Green shares the world of learning he found in online video.
This is what John Green says and I thought it would be a nice introduction to Maps and also a stimulus for some of you to learn even if you don´t like the traditional class at the school.... No excuses to learn!!!
This is a link to a page in which you will discover some of the reasons to learn where to locate the countries in this world... just see how other people fails in doing it...
LEARN YOUR MAPS...DON´T BE THAT PERSON...
