ReplyDeleteOne Word: Identity
"For the remainder of the semester, one thing I can do in discussions is" ...listen to other people's ideas and viewpoints. I tend to stay inside my own point of view and like to stay within my comfort zone. "I will know that I have accomplished this when" I've taken others' ideas into account to reform my main point/idea/argument. I will have learned more because I listened better and now have a broader scope of the topic within the discussion.
Snapshot to come. =)

First word: enlightening
ReplyDeleteSecond word: value
For the remainder of the semester, one thing i can do in discussions is annotate with the text more and refer back to the text using textual evidence. I know that i have accomplished this when Mr. Barry starts pumping his fist and when what im saying is not just out of thin air but i am able to back it up making the argument harder to contrast with.
first word: unclear
ReplyDeleteNew word: redemption
For the remainder of the semester, one thing i can do in discussions is to speak up and state my opinions more for the benefit of myself and my classmates. I know that i have accomplished this when maybe there are less long awkward pauses in class discussions.

My first word was pointless, but my new word is ethereal.
ReplyDeleteFor the remainder of the semester, one thing I can do in discussions is learn to value other people's opinions and let my own opinions go if they are disproved or a better one is presented. I will know that I have accomplished this when I come out of discussions with a new perspective on the text.

ReplyDeleteNew word: redeeming
I think the thing I most need to do during discussions is speak up more. I tend to sit back and let other people run the discussion. If I start to become more of a part of our discussions, I'll know that I've accomplished my goal.
