Liao's Lesson

Presenter: Kevin Liao

Objective: I think the objective was to learn a bit of history about Austria and to connect that with Austria's general identity of today.

There were 3 activities: To write a quickwrite on an article about Austrian xenophobia, to argue a prompt given by Kevin on Austria, and to write a dialectical journal (did not get around to actually doing this one.)

The quikwrite gave us some general information about Austria and her current situation, and the prompt made us connect that information and his earlier lesson to a debatable topic.

We acted as effective communicators by arguing our stance on the our prompts, active learners by furthering that debate (Justin and myself. XD), and critical thinkers/problem solvers by responding to the article by quick-writing.
