Yes, yes, another blog post dedicated to EdCafes. Yesterday, after dropping History the day before, we trekked on over to the library to research and create presentations on the events we had been assigned. Each group had to divvy up the work and create slides.
This was all well and good, since it gave us all a chance to look a little bit more into what we were going to be talking about tomorrow. Everybody got to do the work and such. The only thing that struck me odd overall was everyone's aversion to making the title page. Why? Do you have a tragic past with making title pages? I thought not.
Which brings me to the EdCafe itself, what we did in class today. Like the last one, we would move from discussion to discussion to learn about the different topics, these ones being the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts/the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Acts, and finally the First Continental Congress. It was all very similar to the one we did before, except there was a lot more teaching and explaining compared to discussing, which I can understand. How could we discuss something we were just starting to understand? I still liked how many questions we could ask, and how we could share our input. Very nice. I'll golf clap to that.
When will our next EdCafe be? I have a feeling there'll be plenty more in the future.
