What is means: According to the website, the word regurgitate means "to throw or be thrown back, up, or out." For example, the website offers this sentence to help users understand better: "Instead of sharing some new ideas, the book regurgitates the same old arguments that other authors have tried before."
Level of Familiarity: I am familiar with this word and have heard it several times. However, when I read the sentence it made me think of the word in a different way. As an educator, do I regurgitate lessons or information?? Is my content delivered in the same way every lesson?
Do I Want to Know This Word Well and Why? I know this word. However, I want to know it in a different way, or become more aware of it as an educator. As a student I remember sitting in classes and having the teachers deliver the same form of instruction class after class. It became repetitive and boring. Often times, these teachers taught the same lessons to each of their classes, and did not differentiate instruction or change it up. As educators I think we should be aware of this form of regurgitation.
Do I Think Others Should Know This Word Well...if so WHO and WHY?: I think everyone should know this word, especially educators. Students should know the word to expand their vocabulary. As educators, do we regurgitate the same lessons or materials that were once regurgitated to us? Do we regurgitate the same form of instruction to each and every class or lesson we teach? It is good to become aware of regurgitation as an educator.
