4V vocab of the week!

Delayed Gratification

What does this mean? It’s the ability to resist the temptation for an immediate reward. We have been talking a lot about this term in my inquiry class. One thing we talked about is the marshmallow experiment. Which is when you put a marshmallow in front of a child for 50 minutes and tell them if they don’t eat the marshmallow in the 50 minutes then they get a second one. This had tested delayed gratification, whether the kids were able to ignore the marshmallow or if they ate it.

More Vocab!
This week we went over a lot of vocab in my media class. Two words we studied were semiotics and codes.

Semiotics: the theory of meaning
Code: a set of rules that enables us to understand the meaning of signs and symbols
