Class 2/16

In spite of a rocky start to class for me, this was a good session. Stephanie and I had so many more activities that focused on different types of lessons. We probably could have taught for another hour. It is interesting how much time we spend actively and passively listening. Then there are so many different goals in our listening-to process for communication, to gain information, to take commands etc. Stephanie and I came up with a lot of ideas, but then the class provided us with more reasons. I had merely looked at processing from aural to written, then Chao raised the idea of negotiating for meaning. She needed to ask for repetition, this was an aspect that I hadn't thought of. The lesson brought out the ideas from the reading that we wanted and more. I felt it was a very successful lesson. My only real regret is forgetting to go over the rules for Simon Says.
