3. Jeopardy
The jeopardy game was a standout and really showed me the dangers of competition in a classroom setting. I used to love to compete in classes growing up because I usually perform very well academically in that setting but I realize that not everyone is the same. It sets up a hierarchy that is not beneficial to learn and grow.
2. Card Game
The card game helped me better understand that not everyone comes from the same background knowledge. Even just explicit instructions are not enough. It also brought a new perspective to students who do not speak English as their first language.
1. Queering Our Schools and The Gender Revolution
The discussion that followed the Gender Revolution documentary was a standout moment in my higher education career. It was really a lesson in being able to control my mouth and my passion for a topic and redirect it in a way that is tangible and useful. It was very useful and I appreciate the platform and respect from all sides of the discussion.
Totally forgot about jeopardy! Loved that as well
ReplyDeleteYes, I also mentioned the card game in my blog post. I love how you connected it to learning as an ESL student, which is what we have all observed in our service learning.
ReplyDeleteI am so so sad that I missed the card game! It sounds like it was such a pivotal moment in the class and I really need to play it soon!!
