Peak Chapter9

Chapter 9 Where do we go from here?

1.map out

We must map out the various factors that make up an expert over his or her entire lifespan in order to provide direction for other people who want to develop expertise.

释义：to plan carefully how something will happen:（像画地图一样把每一个细节都画出来，所以是精心准备的意思）
例：Her own future had been mapped out for her by wealthy and adoring parents.
造句：For the coming sports meeting, the whole class is mapping out.

2.prime

Over time, then, by learning more about what goes into  expert performance in various fields and by creating a generation of students primed to take advantage of what, we could produce a new world.

释义：to prepare someone for a situation so that they know what to do
（prime做形容词是做好的，首要的意思。要做好肯定要事先交待和准备好才行。）

prime sb with sth/for sth

prime sb to do sth

例：Did you prime her with what to say？

造句：You'd better prime her to the bad consequences.

3.grapple with

The click questions and tasks were chosen to trigger discussions that would lead the students to grapple with and apply the concepts they were learning and, ultimately, to use those concepts to answer the questions and solve the tasks.

释义： to try hard to deal with or understand something difficult:
    例：The Government has to grapple with the problem of unemployment.
    造句：My brother is upstairs grappling with his maths homework.

Thoughts

授课内容与实际运用结合起来才是最有效的教学，这一点不仅对老师有启发，对学生一样受用。就像学英语，如果每天老师只是往我们脑子里硬塞几个语法结构，几个单词，我们还是不会用。但如果能结合学到的点马上来一段对话之类的，及时运用起来，效果应该会好很多。

我们看书也是一样，就像这本刻意练习的书，作者苦口婆心的从各个方面告诉我们刻意练习是练成各种技能的有效方法，如果没用被我们运用到练习某项技能，那也只是一些枯燥的理论，没用真正转化成技能。
