Book Discussion

Hey group! I really enjoyed meeting today outside of class. I thought it was a nice change of scenery. I thought that meeting in the library worked out well. Meeting outside of class was a different experience because it was all on us, there was no one to guide us in our discussion but I felt that we didn't really need someone to guide us anyway. I think that by letting students meet outside of class it allows them to talk about more topics than in class because sometimes people shy away from topics because we are in class. This is interesting and I will keep this in mind for future teaching.

This raises so many questions for me about how we think of the role of the teacher, what can and can not be said in class, and how the space of the classroom feels different than meeting with a group of friends! I hope we'll talk more about this!
