Wednesday, October 11th Good afternoon, class. In your notebook. I d like you to respond to the following warm-up prompt: In medical terms, tunnel vision is a condition that limits what a person can see. Someone with tunnel vision can only see what is directly in front of them, as if looking through a tube. However, some people with perfect eyesight still see the world with tunnel vision. What do I mean by this, and how can this be a negative thing? How can this be a positive thing?
Tunnel Vision The Big IDEA: Tunnel vision can be a positive thing because it can keep someone focused on a certain goal, but it can be negative when it keeps someone from seeing something important that is right under their nose. Copy this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^in your notebook
