Collaboration

Collaboration has allowed me to see many perceptive to one story. Each person coming from their own unique background has pitched in their view into discussion and blogs. I am able to see and understand where each person is coming from with their responses to novels and movies. Things that I would never think about would be another person’s idea or thoughts. For example, many people were saying that Capote was a homosexual and how he demonstrates it through his novel In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but I was not able to see such things. However, by reading and listening to others talk about it, I began to realize there were hints throughout his stories. In movie, Capote, really reveal his homosexuality. Still, through collaboration, I was open to others’ opinions and ideas. I personally thought that it was great that Professor Walker allows students to pick whichever topic they are interest in. This allows the students to pick something that they are interest in and enjoy writing the essay. Through this, students are able to incorporate new ideas into their essays and allow others to read and understand. I participated in class discussion with others and collaborate with other students to see what their opinions are on certain questions.

Through collaboration, I was able to assist my peers in essay reviewing and discussion for essay topics. I read and gave response to my peers whether their essay flow along nicely and whether their ideas are coming straight forward. I can able to give my peer my perceptive of their essays and what message I am receiving from the essays. Given the cultural and linguistic differences among my peers and me, there were not any difficulties of collaborating. Each person knows what they want. We came together and compromise our ideas. My Group Led Discussion did Wizard of Oz part one and two. Our first discussion was a jeopardy game. To make the class participate more, we gave candies away to the winner as an incentive. Our second discussion was a quick summary and discussion about part two and charade. Through charade, we wanted our classmate to get up and be active among each other. Through these two discussions, it demonstrates my teammate and my ability to meet up and work together to make a discussion happen. There were a few issues on the discussion that we did disagree on, but still, we are able to overlook it and compromise.
