Class 3/26/09
Todays class focused on Chapters 10 and 11 and the "he said she said" video we watch. Todays class began with a discussion about differences in registers between eastern and western societies with regards to gender and ethnicity. The overall consensus is that there are differences between gender and ethnicity. We then moved to small groups where each group went over the different parts of the quiz from chapters 5 and 6 in Finnegan. My group worked on the tree diagram for the fourth sentence and we never got to the second part of the activity which was to discuss section 6-4. Next, we moved back into the big group and discussed the tree diagrams for the first section of the quiz. My impression of the class is that if we had a more flexible writing medium it would be easier to complete group activities, but we do not have this so it complicates communication.

I agree the sentence diagramming and tech issues bogged us down a bit. It was interesting to hear how some people could visual things that were being said and others not...a good indication that modalities of learning exist.
ReplyDeleteH/she said video discussion was quite interesting to me. I would rather to discuss it face to face though.
