Reflecting

I'm in the middle of my third class and we've just gone for the 2nd breakout.

Hmm, how has the day been? I think meeting 1 was ok, where I brought up today's topic on professional responsibility by writing it on the board and tried to do a link with what we've done for the past few problems. I think I made the first mistake of splitting up what their first impressions are of the terms 'professional' and 'responsibility', though from the mind map we draw there are some ideas that are relevant and irrelevant which seems alright I guess for the students to sieve... I hope so!

Then we read today's problem and went through as a class... then there was a break up into the groups where they talk about what they know, what they don't know and what they need to find out... standard classroom procedure that's called the FMT (first meeting template)... and I went around asking them about what their main question of focus is... We then came together as a class to fill up the FMT together, in hope of sharing ideas with the rest of the class.

Then we broke for breakout 1, where I ran back to the office to grab a duster. Coming back to meeting 2, we went through the worksheet, doodling the board with answers from the floor with answers from the floor. I think I led a bit at times, though I didn't really gave the whole game away. However I think I was too strong with the trippy keyword 'economization', which I actually led the class in finding an explanation.

Sigh.

Later there's meeting 3, which demands my questioning skills and I am still woefully inept at that. Oh well!
