Alright class, settle down, letās take a look today, At a word that's important in so many ways. āUnderstanding,ā itās written, clear and bright, Letās break it down with all our might! The dictionary gives us a helpful plea, "To grasp a concept fully, thoroughly see!" Like learning math or reading a book, You need to truly understand the look ā Of words and statements, sentences too, To know exactly what they mean for you. Think of a poem, a painting grand, Understanding helps it all expand! And then thereās this part, a little bit more, "Aware of meaning," right to the core. But wait! There's something extra we should find, āOf people,ā it says, with a thoughtful mind! It means you see what they truly intend, Their motives and feelings, without end. Are they happy? Sad? Or trying to tease? Understanding their intentions, if you please! So understanding isnāt just knowing the facts, Or memorizing things and keeping them intact. It's about connection, a deeper view, To see whatās behind ā itās wonderfully true! Now, letās think for a moment⦠Can anyone give me an example of a time they really understood something? Letās hear your thoughts!
