I enjoyed this reading more then the reading for a number of reasons. the first being that there was less to read, that always makes me smile. The second being that this chapter had more focus than the others. I also like the concepts in this material. Getting students to understand the diverse roles that they make have to take on while working in groups seems to be extremely practical. Especially in this day and age, when everyone has to wear more than one hat while on the job. I know I have experienced having to "multitask" different roles in some of my previous jobs, so "Yea life skills".
I like using discussion in classes I have taught, which the Socratic seminars and the school loop appear to be an extension of. We all know that children are expressive and want their voice to be heard. When you can get students to have a meaningful discussion, hopefully they are also putting some meaning full thought into the discussion. This will hopefully build their interest in the material and understand it relevance to their lives. Or they will put their heads down and say " My head hurts, do I have to do this, it's boring". I liked this material more so, and can only hope I will get a response similar to Mr Burke's, when have discussions in my classroom.
