Our in class discussions are something I still need work on. I feel kind of dumb founded because I never make the conclusions that some of my classmates do. It's amazing how many ideas get sprawled from one question, and how easy it is to get off on a tangent. I try to contribute to the conversation as much as I can, but I can't seem to find as much to say as everyone else does. It's almost contradicting in a sense because my annotations are deep, but in actual words I can't speak. I guess I'm a stronger write than I am a speaker, and that's something I've learned from our discussions.
I agree with you 100 percent!!! This sums up my experience with our discussions. Personally, I'm not much of a group worker, so I think annotations help me more as far as extracting the deeper meaning of our books.
ReplyDeleteI felt that way a little bit in the beginning of the year. But I've found that the group discussions help me once I have done the annotations. Maybe start a discussion off of your own annotations and control the discussion from there?
ReplyDeleteGood advice, Rachel!
