Throughout chapters 8 and 9 of Your Inner Fish, Neil Shubin discusses the relationship between humans and other organisms, specifically the connection regarding the sense of smell and vision. Fossils and the geological record are powerful sources of evidence about the past. By extracting DNA from a tissue of varying species, the history of any part of the body, such as smelling, can be deciphered. Similar to fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds, the human’s sense of smell is housed in the skull. Like the other animals, there are one or more holes through which air is brought inside and a set of specialized tissues where chemicals in the air can interact with neurons.

It highlights the path of our evolutionary ancestors, right back to spineless worms called Amphioxus and even sea anemones. For someone who finds it fairly difficult to get excited about evolution, even though I do find it interesting, this book was the perfect starting block. I have studied evolution every year for the past 5 years and a lot of the content has been a repeat so my lack of enthusiasm is understandable. However, when I started reading this book, I found his writing captivating and felt his excitement through his words.

I think that Reinhart is exactly right when he says that a student should do the explaining and the teacher should be the listener. Although I know that this would be an effective strategy to use in my future classroom, I do think that this technique will be difficult to master.

Although I know that it would come through consistent implementation and practice. Reinhart explains that through this technique, the teacher and the student must reverse the roles of the typical classroom; the teacher must become the listener and the student must become the explainer.

Good observation relates to good communication because in order to be a good communicator one needs to be good at observing other ideas. If a person can observe a piece of text or art well, they are more able to interpret and make meaning from that information or image. If a person does not have this visual literacy, they do not have the ability to extend the meaning of an idea, and therefore they do not get the true significance behind that idea.

“You were a big fish in a small pond, but this here is the ocean, and you’re drowning.” This quote is said by Amos Callaway in the film Big Fish directed by Tim Burton. A quote like this can have several different interpretations and meanings. After all the direct meaning of the quote in the story means that Edwards ambition was too large for the small town of Ashton and he needed to get out to fulfill those ambition, but he is not fulfilling that ambition (drowning) in life (ocean).
