Our group differences forum in our class was very interesting. I really enjoyed hearing everyone's opinions and thoughts. It brought up many different topics that we have to consider as we prepare to be teachers. Religion, multiculturalism, poverty, gender, immigration, and disabilities are all very important topics to discuss. I loved that every one did not necessarily agree with the articles that they read for each subject. I think the subject that was most eye opening for me was gender. It was not something I ever really thought about apart from the discussion. I feel like our program has prepared us really well to be aware of these topics, but I do agree that we should have a class to prepare us for how to help our ELL students.
From what we were told about the articles, I do not think any of the articles should be thrown out. They were all helpful and brought up good points. I really liked our Kill Santa article; I was sad we ended up not having that much time to discuss it. I think all of the topics are really important to discuss because they are all aspects of the classroom that we will more than likely have to deal with.
