There are a few things from our class this year that really stood out to me. Which are our daily Moo In, quotes from the readings, and the roleplay for Wind-Wolf.
Moo In stood out to me because I’ve seen similar activities teachers do at the beginning of the year as an introduction to the class and for everyone to get to know each other a little bit, but it is never something that is continued throughout the rest of the semester. But we do Moo In every day, which I’ve never seen before. I think this is a great way to further get to know each other, it's a way to get everyone included and interact with each other and I think it's also a great way to get the class awake, ready to start the class and ready to start having conversations. For myself it also kinda helps me feel more comfortable talking to the whole class, I do have a lot of anxiety when it comes to public speaking and this is a way to ease that anxiety, make me feel more comfortable speaking to the class.
I really enjoy when we go over quotes from the readings as a class, I find it very beneficial for me because I tend to struggle with comprehending what exactly the author is trying to say. And hearing everyone else's interpretations of the quotes helps me further understand the reading.
I really enjoyed when we did the roleplay for Wind-Wolf, I thought it was an interesting and fun activity for the whole class. It was interesting to see how others would react and handle this situation. And as a viewer it was great to see how the class communicated as these characters to find a solution to keep Wind-Wolf in class.
Moo In also stood out to me, I didn't think about that when writing my blog. It was really beneficial for me as well.
ReplyDeleteGiuliana, I like what you said about Moo In. I've had similar experiences where ice breakers like that are not continued for every class. I also agree that any discussions we had about quotes from the readings were beneficial. I liked hearing everyone else's perspectives on the readings.
