This week we furthered our understanding with the word classes. I personally love this part of grammar, as dorky as it may be. I enjoyed class Thursday working with the parts of a sentence and felt as though using magnetic poetry was a very smart and fun way to get this idea across. One point that was made during class that struck me was that commas have certain places in a sentence, and that they are not to be just placed to represent a pause or break. I think by learning this I will definetely be able to straighten up on quite a few of the issues I have with commas. On Tuesday we did the Socratic Circle which was something that I had never taken part in before. I felt as though it was a very constructive way to discuss something. It was brought up in class that some people did not like being on the outside of the circle, however I would not be part of that group. Observing the inner circle discuss that issue allowed for me to take some very good notes and points that I do not think would have come up had we just done a normal class lecture led by the professor. Being on the inner side of the circle was very helpful as well. And for me personally I like being on the outter circle before goign in to discuss becuase it gave me ideas that I could delve into and progress the ideas of others. Overall, I am pretty stoked about what is happening in class right now. I do believe that Wednesday's class was very important and knwoing what I do about this part of grammar I know that it is a very essential part to know about. In conclusion, I would hope that we are going to share ourmagnetic poetry sentences.

Question: How big of a class do you think you could still effectively use the Socratic circle for? Also, would the circle still be as succesful and thorougly cover a work if you were to do a play, book, or some larger type of work?
