What Happened in Class 128 Comm Monday

First we checked in our two interviews for the "I Am" paper.

We watched a video about listening. The acronym for the steps in listening was "DRIVE." At the end of the video, there were six listening exercises. The best the class did on any one of the exercises was about 50%.

We took a break.

After the break, the instructor handed out a class exercise that showed students how to write (ask) clarifying questions and paraphrases. The instructor demonstrated one in class and then each student composed their own. We looked at some on the doc cam and critiqued them.

Next class:

Note: spring break next week. Like I have to tell you.

Read Chapter 7 and do workbook chapter.
Come prepared to do workbook chapter check-ins.
"I Am" paper due.
