Listening October 3, 2023
I taught a group Drama and Communication class today on Zoom. I focused primarily on students asking questions of each other but only in relation to class content instead of social time. My intention is to build listening skills by holding yourself accountable to ask questions. It is so easy for many of us to lose our own concentration. However, when we prepare questions, we listen for content to build upon and make the content stronger that is coming from the person we are asking. This can build accountability for both the speaker and listener. Both need to listen to each other and the questions and answers build our own self- education. As a class, we did this within the context of covid activities that are unique only for the last week.This can raise the possibility of a more detailed and thought provoking answer. It went pretty well today. V
