Reflecting on class 9/1

Today my class mates and I paired off into groups of 5.  In the previous class all 5 of us were given separate readings in which we needed to complete and answer questions for.  I had Hand-in Hand, Building Community on Common Ground by Lawton.  We were then asked to set up 5 different categories , which I can not remember off the top of my head what they were, where we had to put different view points in.  The exercise was helpful, it made me realize there's some methods of teaching I just don't agree with and some I would love to try.  My article was about getting the kids out of the classroom and working alongside homeless people.  This would make the children aware of their environment and what's really going on.  Although I don't think I would use homeless people and I don't think many parents would want their children around them either.  Maybe I would choose firemen or something along those lines.
