This might be especially hard in the unit "Change in Me."  However, this is an individual assignment that student's don't have to present in front of their peers. 

I have tables in my classroom, so that might be hard for an introvert not to have their own space. However, we do start each class time with 20 minutes of silent reading and a chance to finish classwork from the previous day. This would be a great time for them to recharge.

Chad excels at connecting concepts. He can provide great insight to text to self and text to world connections as well as helping others see the common themes within texts. ]]> 2019-02-26 21:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hansonagriffin/h2oreg8291ly/wish/335664354 Final Reflection hansonagriffin https://padlet.com/hansonagriffin/h2oreg8291ly/wish/335664643 I asked a student what the word "perfect" meant and he replied, "Jesus."  I was thankful that I took the time to ask him to clarify what he meant by that.  His connection to the word was based on his faith that Jesus led a "perfect" life. 

As an extrovert,  I forget that the constant interaction with others can be draining for some students.  Where we are encouraged to have students collaborate and be "future ready" as teachers, it's also important to find the balance for our students and their needs within their personality and learning styles. 

This course changed my thinking about extending think time, providing alternate ways to react to information, and differentiation for introverted learners within group projects. This introversion topic is like a burrito because there are lots of "ingredients" that each child brings to the classroom and different ways to "assemble" the information to wrap up learning. ]]> 2019-02-26 21:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hansonagriffin/h2oreg8291ly/wish/335664643 Take away from Adam Grant Introversion-extroversion is rooted in our physiology and can help us understand how we function in work and life. It's one of the first things people notice about how you interact with others. We can become aware of other people's differences and appreciate them through communicating differently. hansonagriffin https://padlet.com/hansonagriffin/h2oreg8291ly/wish/337986549 2019-03-05 16:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hansonagriffin/h2oreg8291ly/wish/337986549
