Module 1 Activity 7 Pt 2
The stories the children wrote were interesting. I want to believe that because they were working in groups. the plots were well planned, and the script well written.

Module 1 Activity 7 Pt 1

I have always believed in grouping children for I have seen the benefits of collaborative learning. This exercise served to remind me of the importance of group work. The exercise also spelled out the benefits. These benefits I never thought to research.

Module 1 Activity 6
If  I was not a convert of Vygotsky, the articles I read for activity 6 would have made me one. I kept reading   and remembering my first daughter and how she always spoke to herself as a child. I believe this contributed to her learning to read at a very early age. I also saw myself in the readings for I always worked things out in my mind, knew what I wanted to say and could not verbalize my thoughts. These readings have serious implications for teachers' teaching styles.

Module 1 Activity 5

The readings for this activity were especially interesting. I found myself thinking about the children in my school and seeing what had been written being played out in the lives of so many of them.
