Today's partner activity was so beneficial, and I thank Chris B for his ability to help me articulate some of my ideas as we talked about our research possibilities. The irony was not lost on me that introverts often struggle greatly with articulating their thoughts verbally (even among friends in a safe space!), especially if those thoughts are still fresh and not completely formed. So when it came time to share those very ideas about introverted issues, I already knew my own thoughts were still so churned up that they wouldn't make much sense unless I had more time to process them - so Chris did an excellent job of sharing what we talked about and I feel much more clarified! (I think I used "irony" correctly in a sentence -haven't taught literary terms in years).
You all have to watch the Ken Robinson clip I posted - it connects beautifully to what we were talking about this morning about how when we are little we are sure we dance, sing and draw, but that gets sucked out of us with each passing year of school. It's also extremely funny - enjoy!
Hope everyone made it home safely - see you tomorrow!
