A.) The questions i wrote down are what puzzled me the most. My questions are the following: 1.) Why did the Lilliputians show Gulliver diversions only the Majesty (Emperor) and his higher ups get to see?
2.) What do you think caused Gulliver to gain his liberty so quickly?
3.) Why did Gulliver decide to help the Lilliputians with their private affairs?
4.) What do the Lilliputians want Gulliver to do for them?
I wanted to find a section of the passage that could answer at least two of my questions. My search lead me to the chunk of text from page 658-659. This sections is the Lilliputian history. I picked this because it sorta answers all my questions. Unfortunately, i didn't make any predictions.
B.) The teacher groups, in my opinion, were helpful in a way to understand someone else’s point of view because there is a small group so there is a more in depth discussion. Also, I believe it is good because if your unclear or you did something wrong then the other members can critique you and make clarifications. The bad thing about the teacher groups, to me, is if someone didn’t do their part, or if someone tries to shut down your opinions and ideas. The ugly is the time it takes to go through all the information and get your final product.
In my group, the good was that everyone did their part and we all understood each other’s views. We tried to get everyone’s opinion involved based off of what questions and topics we had in common. My group work pretty well together and we got a lot done compared to some groups. The really wasn’t any bad besides a few unclear subjects due to our points of view. In my group the only real ugly part was Paul. So in my opinion the teacher groups are good at helping us understand the text we read as well as the work a teacher has to do normally on their own. I wouldn’t change anything about it because it was helpful to me, and I learned my classmate’s opinions and had the text clarified by combining our opinions.
C.) On Monday, I will not be doing anything different, but I’m not sure about my partners. We have a basis for our teachings and are already planning everything out. Our questions are picked, our quotes discussed and clarified, but our predictions are unclear. So our work only consists of our predictions and finishing our “lesson plans”, and finally teaching the topic.
