Each and evey day we read Hamlet, you will have the chance to ask questions about the play here. Questions can range from fairly straight forward, like "who is Bernardo?" up to more profound questions like "Is it possible that King Hamlet wasn't such a great ruler?"
Each day I would like 2 students to take responsibility for outlining the main points of what we read (no cut and paste summaries please). Additionally, I'd like you to add your own thoughts, comments and questions about what we read. The students in charge will initiate a new post and everyone else in class can add comments in the comment section.
As always, participation here will count toward your oral language grade.
The pairings will be:
Day:
1-Julian, Ray
2-Eric, Linda
3-Mia, Madison
4-Keenan, Mark
5-Sean, Sarah, Will
6-Emily, Alan
7-Bill, Evan
8-Kim, Kelly
9-Shelby, Jason
10-Cassi, Brandon
11-Mike, Matt
12-Jamie, Ali
13-Alysha, Cam
14-David, Marcel
15-Blake, Sam
Can we switch partners? :)
ReplyDeleteThat seemed pretty rude...
ReplyDeletePart of doing well in university is learning to negotiate the tasks you are assigned with social grace.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of instances in life in which we don't get to choose with whom we work. We just have to make it work.
There are no requirements that you get together to do this. Simply sub-divide the task by verbal or written agreement(so that you each have less to do) or just work independently.
A mature way to go about this would be to suggest a plan of attack (this could even be done as a comment on the blog) to which your partner could agree or respond.
I think my partner should apologize.
ReplyDeleteI think that's fair. I am hoping that this becomes one of those awkward moments that turns out to be an opportunity for growth. This little fracture gives me some insight into why some people may not always feel comfortable speaking up in class--this can only happen in a climate of respect which I will continue to work hard to build. I just ask that we all follow the golden rule...it's got me this far...
ReplyDeleteYour partner also has the ability to remove her comment. I thought about doing it myself but wanted to leave the opportunity to do the right thing.
ok I meant nothing back about it. I did not mean to insult my partner honestly it was just a question. I am sorry if I offended you.
ReplyDeleteWell, apologising is definitely a step in the right direction. Now from where is the first olive branch going to come?
