Reflection

This is the next topic I will talk about since the my last blog was some weeks ago. Today's topic is about my reflection last week and this week. The whole week last week, we had our discussion about the selection "Everyday Use". Before we read the selection, we first discussed about sister rivalry. Some of our classmates shared their perception on what are the reasons why there are sister rivalry. One said it is because of food, another said it is because of space, attention and others.

At first, we didn't understood the story until our teacher showed us the next day some pictures on quilts, and explained why these are important to the Black Americans. These are important because these were used by the Black Americans for survival. They used these as maps, and they expressed their feelings by making quilts.

The next day, we have discussed the story paragraph by paragraph. After the discussion, I realized the importance of culture, heritage and traditions.

We also discussed about how to listen properly. We have learned the method TQLR. Our teacher read to us some selections wherein we applied the TQLR. By the way, T means Tune In, Q means Question, L means Listen, and R means Respond.

As of this week, we continue with our discussion. Some of us blog while the others are in the classroom answering questions about the story.

This week, it is always raining, so the program scheduled Monday is always postponed. It was supposed to be now but since it rained, it was again postponed.
