Group discussions have been helping me in a numbers of ways. First of all, I am able to stimulate my thinking capabilities in an innovative way. I expand my knowledge on the novel by listening to feedback and giving my opinions among my peers. Secondly, I learned to identify my weakness and strengths and contribute better by sharing my ideas. Group working made me realize that I have excellent leadership skills to lead a team which helped me to think deeper and improve my creativity more. Discussing among peers widen my language skills even further. I learned how to adapt and move with a group despite the fact that all my group members come from different countries with different characters and attitudes. I instantly built a good rapport with them which was so helpful for me to complete my assignment on time.
We try to predict what will happen to the next chapter. Each one of us, come with different ideas, we then compile the ideas and rank them accordingly.
We share our thoughts, feelings, and ideas relating this story. Most of us put ourselves in the author shoes and view the story in a different angle. It is because we come from different academic backgrounds most of the time, our answers differ and we hear interesting opinions for most of us to benefit.
We picked important, interesting passages and expand on it even further in a group discussion. Interesting passages again differ from each other because some may use a simpler text and some may chose a more complex text. But the key point here is we were able to share and gain knowledge about the novel by deep discussion showing specific reasons why my peers chose that passage. At this point open questions such as “How, When. What, Whose, Where" were asked among peers and good answers are discussed openly.
These are important to the plot in various ways. We learned that by viewing and answering many different questions we were able to get a deeper knowledge of the plot. Sometimes, peers can also illustrations on regard to the plot. In a discussion of a plot, my peers and I are able to outline the story goal. The combination of goal and consequence creates the main dramatic tension in the plot which makes the plot meaningful. Next, my peers and I have our requirements and responsibilities to achieve our goals by doing a checklist which is related to the plot.
I grew to be creative with my ideas. I worked constructively with many key points in order to achieve my aim. I created an image which my peers appreciated and included me in all their active discussion. I was a keen participant and willing to share my ideas very openly. The discussions have given me an insight to better understand the passages and view them from many different scenes. Moreover, I learned how to work as a team which enabled me to move towards in becoming a more extrovert person in ISKL.
