Reflection Questions:
| Answers: 1. The guideline that was new to me was the one that said to try to connect ideas. I get how that would be helpful because you could be like " Oh, you and so and so agree but I kindly disagree because ..." It would help so that you can keep adding new information instead of saying stuff over and over again. 2. We haven't really been using connecting ideas very much and that resulted in one person presenting information then another person doing the same thing. I will be sure to try to use it during our lit circle discussions more. |
