Box Man Discussion Afterthoughts
1. Something that I learned about the passage that I hadn't noticed on my own was the structural progression from short paragraphs to longer and more explanatory paragraphs. It did this because the essay turned into more story-tellings and hypotheticals than before.
2. During the discussion I wished that we would have actually focused more on how the meaning was presented, and not about what the meaning was, the structure, interesting quotes, and other topics. Good job though as the facilitator Eddie.
3. I wish that I would have mentioned that the meaning was presented by contrasting examples of solitary people, as this could have incited more discussion about the how, not what.

I a similar first comment so I strongly agree with that. I also agree with your second comment that we could have focused more on the presentation but I think that many of the topics we discussed showed elements of the author's presentation. On your third point I think we should have discussed the differences more clearly but only after discussing the female characters more
ReplyDeleteI agree that we should have focused more on the "how" than the "what. The way in which something is written is just as important and interesting as its content. I would have liked to hear your thoughts on how the other characters added to the "how."
ReplyDeleteI like how you complemented me. my self esteem has gone up and i will be giving you a hug tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI think for next time (if i end up facilitator again) i will make sure to start with the major themes until everyone is done
