Provide tow possible perspectives on the issue of a learner

falling asleep in class.
A learner falling asleep in class could mean a lot of things.
The child could have trouble at home which causes him/her to
struggle to sleep in their own home. They might live in a
noisy environment which causes sleepless nights. On the other
hand, the child might suffer from an anxiety disorder, anemia,
or any other underlying disorder which causes him/her to
constantly be tired which would have to be treated as soon as
possible.

Provide two possible perspectives on the issue of a teacher

coming to class unprepared.
Students feed off the energy the teacher gives when he/she
walks through the door. So if a teacher were to come to class
unprepared and not ready for the day, the students in the class
would show boredom and laziness. They would get easily
distracted as the teacher would not be able to be as
informative or as engaging as they would be had they come
prepared.

Explain the animism paradigm and one example.

Animism is giving non-living objects human characteristics.
Take for example a child falling and telling the teacher that
the floor has hurt him. By saying this the child has given a
non-living thing human characteristics. The child believes that
the floor had the ability and the intention to cause him pain.
