We looked in-depth into Said today. Students had insightful comments and ideas.
I have a pair of students who at times talk too much between themselves while we're holding class discussions. I had had it this morning, so I firmly said, "Will you two please stop.?." I then went on with class, paying close attention to how they and the class responded. I don't want to diminish self-esteem. The two acted well throughout the rest of class--I engaged one of them in a question on Said in order to bring them out of any shell. Personally, at times I see I have to be really firm in order to get the message across. I'm used to substituting where we have to be firm, but I'm seeing this approach is sometimes necessary in comp. class.
