Sunday, June 25, 2006. Assignment: Inductive / Collaborative Learning. Last week's classes went well. Despite having to prepare 2-3 lessons each day, I felt more comfortable than my first week. So comfortable, in fact, that I used two. Of the techniques we could choose and reflect on for this week's blog. Question, but at best my students would only offer bad paraphrases of the sections I'd make them read. 3 Multiple examples. Probably why that segment was more like inductive-lite and also why it did...

Her hair was long I don’t know if it was her own o...
