I thought that our GDF went pretty well. Myself, Holly, and Mandy worked very hard to be prepared and organized. However, I felt that the class could have been a little more active in our discussion. We were hoping that they would be more talkative when we asked our open ended discussion questions and when we did the activity with the quotes from our article. Since they did not really speak up or participate, it made it a little hard for us. I think that the three of us worked well together and we split up the work evenly amongst ourselves.
We chose the article that went into depth about The Critical Race Theory. I found it very informative. I also think that it will help me in my future endeavors as a teacher. Racial stereotyping is still extremely prevalent today and I think that as a teacher you need to be well educated about this sometimes controversial topic. The article gave numerous examples that put the critical race theory into perspective, and that really helped me to understand that even if you don't think you are being stereotypical, others may. It is a very fine line, and as an educator you are responsible for making sure that no one crosses that line.
