In Class Discussion

I personally loved our in class discussions on Monday. Although it is usually very helpful and informative when the teacher is solely addressing and lecturing the class, I really enjoyed this type of discussion. I think that it allowed many people to explore what they truly thought about the novel and also allowed me to consider new ideas about Metamorphosis. I think that these kind of active discussions are extremely helpful in understanding the material in an in depth analysis, but I feel as though they can only succeed if the class knows a good portion of the material as well. If this type of discussion were to be introduced when we first started the novel, I don't think that the level of involvement and understanding would even compare to that on Monday. Overall, I can't wait to continue our discussions on Metamorphosis and hope that this type of learning can be used later in the novel as well.
