Lessons From Other’s Lessons

After being in the gaming group for our book club presentation, I thought it would be interesting to switch things up and join the Hip-Hp in literacy group. As a future English teacher of either high school or college, I have begun to approach topics in a way that presents opportunity to steal ideas and incorporate them into future lesson plans that may help a diverse audience grasp concepts. I found it interesting that the gaming group focused on the ability to work within a virtual world and how that helps people to become experimental and overcome different obstacles in game. I think that this may give kids the ability to think on their feet and adapt to changes by approaching a problem with multiple tools and avenues, rather than trying to hit the problem head on in a strictly scholarly manner. This could be related to my own group when freestyle rapping or having a cipher in which participants need to react quickly to situations presented.
