socratic circle

i can and will say that the socratic circle was very excited and fun. i liked the fact that everyone gets to let out their own opinions about what we were talking about during the session. although i can honestly say i did not say anything because a lot of people did have the same opinions as i did and that kind of shut me up. i didnt know what to say because a lot of people were just throwing out words and it gives me less time to think of what to say. but then it did not bother me much to not say much because a lot of people sort of said it for me and i did not want to repeat after the other person. i can see that a lot of us kind of had that face expression to where we were just like this isnt going anywhere because no one was really thinking of what to say but throwing out opinions that were some what unnecessary. overall i enjoyed the socratic circle because i like seeing tension in some people and thats what makes it all exciting.

 my opinion about the article "Texas Conservatives Win Curriculum Change" i believe that everyone has their own ways to teach history but i can and do agree with the woman that is trying to argue her opinion. trying to teach the kids a whole different way of history can be interesting because history to me sometimes do get boring with so much information and time it just gets lame and feels like everything is just repeating over and over. i can and will say i do find myself falling asleep in class sometimes and feel as though i have to cram soo much information in my head in such a short time. but then again school only lasts a few months and teachers are required to teach us what we need to learn. im sure so many teachers would rather have students like history and love for the kids to enjoy it but there is such a short amount of time to be able to make it seem enjoyable.
