Briana's Progress of this Class Blog

Possibly the most challenging activity in this class i have found is either the terdactal game or having to share things about me for a good 3-4 minutes. I am not used to talking about my self a lot unless i have a prompt. Everybody now knows as "Debate" because i always have something to retaliate about. My favorite activities in class that Ive enjoyed a lot so far is getting to research. I don't enjoy reading the sad statistics but i enjoy being more informed about my social issue that i will be talking about/researching/writing about. I also enjoyed today's group discussion. We had minor frequent interruptions that seemed to get a little childish but overall i liked the discussion today about the food topic. As of today i feel like i have been able to express a lot of what i wanted to say. I don't always ask my questions though just because i know i can find an answer and stick with it. During discussion time i like to listen to what other people have to say. I also like to link some ideas like the other day i had linked Natassija's and Alana's point of the homelessness issue. During discussion time i noticed that we side track somewhat a lot and we don't always get to finish answering one question. However i think discussion time has been going well because we become more interactive when we jump into other questions. Sometimes i have last minute comments but i usually put them to hold. In contrast though the worksheets with the questions is the only thing i don't like about discussion time because i feel to get distracted to write out answers rather than to be expressing my own answers. The questions are sometimes worded funny. I can figure them out after reading them a good 2 or 3X but I'm sure maybe some other people have a hard time reading them too. The expectations are pretty clear most of the time. Sometimes I don't listen so i get a little confused about the instructions of whatever we move onto next.
