Lesson 2 is tomorrow. I need to start angling towards a concrete action plan. Things that I know need to happen …
- Tangible experience of success with the first listening activity (“Dish Soap for Dinner.”)
- Some kind of engagement with with topic for the day.
- Ideally SOMETHING that feels like a step in the direction of this bing a debate class. Probably some sort of opinion-formulation/opinion-evaluation activity. (There is a debate textbook that I have used in the past with some success that I think will help me to gain clarity on that point.)
All three of these are a heavy list, so I need to keep them prioritized. The #1 objective cannot be given short shrift, even if that means not meeting the other three objectives and I will be explaining that after I run to go pick up my kid at kindergarten.
