Today we got separated in groups when we entered the portable. Each group had to discuss a question about the movie we watched on Thursday, "The First Knight". On the sheet she gave us that day, there were quotes and questions concerning them. After we returned to our original seats, Ms.Lees gave us another sheet on review of oral language.
Why we did it?
This was to improve our oral communicating skills and to improve our skill of working in a group. If the group does not agree with each other, we can try try to convince each other, developing persuasive skills. the sheet she gave us would actually let us look back and see if we actually contributed to the discussion instead of leaving other people to do it by themselves.
Connections and reflections
Working in a group helps us in the future when we wok on projects with other people during employment. Actually working on the project might keep you from being fired. Persuasive skills will be needed if your a lawyer trying to prove people innocence or guilty. It helps you if your in a debate team, trying to convince the jury that your point is better or right. It helps in politics if you are a politician trying to get people to work for you, or even convincing your parents that you need a better allowance!
