This week in class we got together in small teacher groups which I really enjoyed because I like when we take the hands on approach to english. I would of enjoyed this project better if we had gotten together as a class first and really analyzed what Swift was trying to portray in this story about society in the eighteenth century, but gaining other people in the groups opinions was very good and helped me further understand the story. Some positives about the teacher groups is you get more than one view point on how other people understood the story and the questions they had and how they comprehended what swift was trying to portray. The negative was that when we had gotten into bigger groups, people had gotten off task and were not paying attention and fooling around which in turn made me less motivated and I didnt learn more about Gulliver. I think it would have been better if we could have presented our findings and questions in front of the class so that they could have critiqued us and gave us there input on the story. Overall I thought this project was pretty good, I enjoy thinking outside the box and hear what other people think about the story and it opens up my mind also and gets me thinking more outside the box.
