A note about February 2nd

I really enjoyed our class last week because it allowed for some open discussion and debate. I think that everyone in our class was able to learn something new about how their own culture works or how another's culture is different from their own. Thea and Rachel's presentation was very enjoyable as well. They allowed the class to do most of the work in the open conversation, but I thought the way that they structured the questions and comments went very well (they also brought some candy which was a great idea).

I'm glad that we got to do a practice unit plan in the computer lab because I think it helped to clarify the upcoming assignment. I also think that by being able to actually work on a 'fake' assignment that it at least gets the class aware about what is going to be due, what is expected of them, and (the most important) it makes us aware of when it is due. That way it doesn't creep up on us and surprise most of the class.
