My Group Experience I never enjoyed doing any school work in a group. Somehow I always ended up doing all the work while everyone else in my group got to “chill” and not worry about anything. I always saw it as either I do it and get a good grade or I do not do it and we all fail. I knew I always had the chance to let my teachers know I did all the work and let my group get no credit for it, but I was always too nice to do that. I came into this class as a freshman not knowing what to expect. All I knew was that I was not good at doing speeches alone so this class was probably my best bet. My first group experience in this class completely changed the way I feel about doing work as a group. We were all able to communicate with each …show more content…
My personality type was ISTJ (introverted, sensing thinker, judger). My personality types explains me as being quiet and keeping to myself. I enjoy doing things by myself which is what I struggled with in the group. Since I had to put together the iMovie, I was the one that had to wait for each person to get their research done. This meant that I wasn’t able to complete it when I wanted to. I had to do it piece by piece when they each sent me their research. Another perk about my personality is that when I say I am going to do something I will get it done. I’ve learned that it may not be done when another person tells me to have it done by, but I know I will get it done when it needs to be done. I tend to take things very seriously, but also know how to have fun when the time is right. Like I explained earlier, we had a good time the last time we met up in the library but I was the one who always brought us back to our topic. Although we did not stress as a group, I stressed a little on my own. Since I was responsible for the iMovie if anything went wrong I felt that the blame would be on me. One thing about the iMovie that stressed me out was that I had to time each one of my group members speech to make sure the videos pictures played at the appropriate time. I quickly learned that each time they said their speech to me it was never the exact same. I just had to do my best and hope that my timing was right the day of our actual speech. I thought of all the things that could possibly go wrong which is another thing that the personality test explained about
Initial Experience as a Group Facilitator Our first session together was all about the different learning styles and we went over the intake form together. This was the start of us building a bond and working together really as a group. I facilitated my first group two weeks later in session three. We were really working together and trusting the process and I wanted to keep that going. I wanted to pick a topic that would help us all open up even more and keep the discussion going. That is
that is related to letter therapy and contrast it to the expressive writing paradigm which was discussed concurrently. Both therapies incorporate the tenets of post-structuralism which are conducive to narrative therapy. The errant role of memory in anecdotal accounts given by patients in narrative therapy is also brought into scrutiny. Lastly, this reflective essay addresses the lack of self-criticism in the therapeutic profession in general and the risks writing therapy faces if it is obeisant
“general audience,” a concept that many students find difficult to understand”(6).

During my student teaching experience, I had the opportunity to teach a 3 week long narrative writing unit. The students were to write about an important event or incident that happened in their life. Over the course of the 3 weeks, the students worked through the writing process as well as learned skills that would help them with their writing in the future. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and reflect on teaching the narrative unit, what went well about the unit, what did not go as well

Drafting a Personal Narrative Overview: We each have significant events or “chapters” that make up our lives and have helped shape who we are becoming. A personal narrative is an essay in which you tell the story of one of those important memories, lessons or events.

Introduction The theory that I chose to analyze in this paper is the constructivist approach with a dual use of both the Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) and Narrative Therapy. In my worldview change happens when an individual is motivated to persist and accomplish their goals. In my own personal philosophy, I am optimistic that every student is capable of discovering a solution that best fits in solving their problem and that everything we do in life is interconnected to helping us accomplish our
Overall my experience of being in Lingleville ISD was a great experience that allowed me to learn a lot not only about the students in the classroom, but also helped me learn a lot about myself. Going in to this classroom I expected to only learn things about classroom management and maybe a few strategies. After spending a few days in this room I learned many other things. I did learn about classroom management but I also learned about content, strategies, organization, lesson planning, and inclusion

Passing Time, Moving Memories: Interpreting Wartime Narratives of Japanese- Canadian Women, Sugiman demonstrates the events of Japanese internment which occurred after the Second World War by constructing various narratives which show the role of subjectivity and interpretation.

article I read within the class, which served as my formal introduction to community development work, What is my Public Narrative by Marshall Ganz, helped me develop my public narrative. Within the conclusion of the article, Ganz states that “Narrative allows us to communicate the values that motivate the choices that we make. Narrative is not talking “about” values; rather narrative embodies and communicates values. And it is through the shared experience of your values that we can engage with others
Personal narratives are subconsciously created and used in everyday thinking often unknowingly by the individual. We, as a society, formulate personal narratives based on personal experience, as a way to excuse the behavior or action that we commit(TIME). Similarly, grand narratives are created and believed by a larger group of individuals. Since personal narratives are almost always based on the personal experience this means society is unable to directly understand the motives and thinking process
