Week 5

For this weeks class, we had the opportunity to teach a lesson to our peers. I really liked my idea for my lesson, but I think once I was teaching it to the other members of the group and heard some of their ideas, I didn't feel as strongly about my lesson. I think that part of it was I simplified it a lot and just gave them the basic idea, so they didn't get the full idea, but I still didn't feel all that great about it. For the Multigenre research paper I was thinking about doing something about owls. I know that idea sounds somewhat random, but I was thinking the other day about a really great book called HOOT which is about saving owls from a construction site. I think that this could open up the topic of the affect of man on the environment, and also give me the opportunity to learn a little more about these unusual creatures. I guess I'll do a little more research to see if that's truly what I want to do, but I think it could be fun.
