I wasn't too sure on where to put it, but in this scene I felt like I saw Industry versus Inferiority. When the book talks about Erick Erickson in chapter 4 on page 117 it states "children learn that they can win recognition by succeeding at academics, physical, and social tasks". This is where they see the town supporting them. In this point of the movie they've done so much to get to where they are and they see that from all the support that they have gotten which could be considered the recognition from their success from the meets. What's you all's input in this however?

In Noddings when we read about it, we learned that there is no one way to actually care about someone. Coach really gets to know his runners because of what they've been through together. He could have told them anything to try and push them, but he tells them what he thinks will really push them because he knows them so well. "There's no recipe for caring"

Can this section also be social imagination? I know that social imagination is when you put yourself into someone else's position. In this coach puts himself into their situation "literally" and knows what they've been through. This allowed coach to see what they're capable of doing. If anything I think social imagination is chapter 6 in the Peter Johnston book, Opening Minds.

Here you can see that Coach White has clearly made a relationship with the boys because they are joking around with him and at this point he takes them serious because he respects them as adults and not just children that need to be straightened out.

In this scene, identity versus role confusion is seen because Coach White is talking to the team and telling them that there is a possibility of them going to state. It's hard to believe at first because no one ever believed in these boys. Once they won their first race then their community believed in them but no one else did. Other teams made comments such as, "(McFarland) only runs when they have cops behind them" and such so Coach White here is telling them that they don't have to be limited to the people that others imagine them to be but if they believe in themselves and each other, they could be anyone they wanted to be and could accomplish all they wish to accomplish.

Here, Coach White is again building the relationship between him and his runners by giving them some more background information of his coaching career.

By this scene, the boys' moral development has increased because in the beginning of the movie, had Coach White told Thomas "you're the captain," one can assume that he would have just called the chant and the boys would have gone to start the race but we see that Thomas instead calls Coach back to the group to call the chant. I believe he did this because he, along with the rest of the team, knows that without Coach, they wouldn't be where they are and he deserves just as much credit for their accomplishments as they do.

The coach's development of the athletes psychosocial developmental stages from an adolescence, being focus on their own identity instead of being a community, into the early adulthood stage, where they become caring and intimate with one another where they reciprocate it to their partners. What if Mr. White had kept them focused on the Adolescences stage? Would the athletes have created such a tight bond?

In this part of the scene, Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development is used because the coach is reminding the team that they do things that the other kids cannot do. They handle pain in ways that the others can't and somehow they still continue to push through it. Coach White is reminding them of the knowledge they already have of not giving up so that when they are running and they feel that they cannot do it anymore, they just have to think of all that they continue to do day after day and because they can go through all that hard work, they can get through this race as well.

Coach White is speaking about the work that he did out in the field with his athletes. Every time a coach or teacher is with their students outside of the school arena then a relationship can be created that will bond the students to their teacher. How do you think it affected the relationship between the athletes and coach white?

I feel like this part is a metacognition moment that Coach White is having the boys do because he's asking them to think about what they do on a daily basis and how these activities make them stronger or different than any of the runners from the other schools that are there.

This group of individuals have created or become enveloped in a cultural mediation system because they take the actions of each other and internalize what each one other have become to believe. Prior to their team formation, how much of their lives were internalized by each other?

When you read this section you find that the coach is putting them into a discomforting position by making the competition appear almost intimidating, but he continues by stating that this team deserves to be here at the state meet too. The students were in discomforted and were seeking to understand but the coaches response gave them that equilibrium they were trying to conceive.

"But if you... If you believe in yourselves and maybe more importantly, you find a way to believe in each other, in your teammates, it won't matter what anyone else thinks."

"When I went out in the field that day with you Diaz kids, I'll be honest with you, it was a... It was the worst day's work I ever had to do in my life. And I said to myself, "Whatever kind of crappy job I end up in, "it'll never be as tough as that."

"They don't get up at dawn like you and go to work in the fields. Right? They don't go to school all day and then go back to those same fields. That's what you do. And then you come out with me and you run 8 miles, 1 0 miles, and you take on... You take on even more pain. These kids don't do what you do. They can't even imagine it."

This was not a scaffolding of their training for working but it was building up their understanding of how they became the hard working group of individuals that the state is about to see.

"Best in the state, right? Every team that's here deserves to be, including you."

He is laughing because it is funny, even though he denies it here
