Response paper 2: Lesson 2

I liked the lesson because it was interactive and taught us several mechanisms we can use to get the students attention, as well as different ways to form groups.

I enjoy this course because it makes you aware of that people see things in different ways, and since we are all becoming teachers we should be able to be empathetic with people from all types of cultures and backgrounds. What might be perfectly ok to say or do in your own culture might offend a student who comes from a different cultural background.

It is important to see that there is no right or wrong and that a group of students from different cultures will actually enrich the lesson and make it more interesting to everyone. But careful! I found that especially using humor in the classroom can backfire…
