I feel really good about our group project, because I feel really good about the people in my group. This is the umpteenth group project I have done and it won't be the last. I have not agreed with homework, ever, but if this is supposed to better my understanding of a subject then I can not argue about doing or not doing it. I like the way our group is approaching the subject and I feel confident that we will be able to bring all of our ideas together in a nice, neat, coherent presentation. The question that we have is quite difficult to answer because it is predicated upon an opinion, and those are the toughest questions to answer.
We will be answering "What texts and other curricular resources, supported by solid, educational research and theory, are available for Language Arts and Social Studies teacher to aid students in creating a positive self-identity and that will discourage the use of drugs, gang activity, and other destructive behaviors, often incited by peer pressure?"
The "experts" in this field are constantly changing their minds or flat out do not know what will discourage one person and not encourage another. There are just too many variables in and out of the school that factor into these children's decisions. We will do our best to persuade you into believing the people whom we have believed in.
My main hope for our project is that you do not fall asleep because we are so boring, beyond that it will be all gravy baby.

I too can comment on the ever changing ideas in your topic as there always seem to be a new way to do something. It makes it hard to make a decision on not just what to present on but what to actually use when we are in a classroom ourselves. The important thing I believe is to be receptive to many different theories and ideas as we can then mold our own practices and beliefs from them. I too hope you are not boring.
ReplyDeleteBilly, I'm so interested in your comment "I've never agreed with homework"! What do you mean "agree"? Could you elaborate, please?
ReplyDeleteI meant I do not like homework, most of it is busy work or a regurgitation of something a book is supposed to tell me.
