Today was a nice day....My kids came prepared and were willing to talk about their work. We put it all out on the table. We have to talk about what we've done. We have to criticize our own work and the work of our peers.
We have to talk about our own work. We have to tell what we've learned from the current project. We have to say what we have learned and say what we would do different. We then have to talk about another student's project. We have to admire something that someone else has done. We then have to tell a peer what we would do differently.
It's not okay to say that someone's work stinks. It's not okay to say that we would finish the project because some folk's projects are not finished.
We learn to learn from our projects. We learn from mistakes. We learn that sometimes we don't work fast enough and that most of our peers are already done with the project.
We learned a lot today. Critique days are helpful on so many levels. Today... we learned to learn.
We are fortunate. Life is good.
