Part 1:
In class we participated in a Salient Circle exercise (Dr. Joycelyn Landrum-Brown 1998) where we asked you to think about which lenses you use most often when trying to make sense of the world.
- First, share your overall reactions to that exercise as a way of helping you to notice how you view the world. How did it affect your view of yourself? Do you feel it was adequate and accurate?
- Next, if someone passed you on the street and didn't know you, what might they think is your primary way of looking at the world? What signals do you give off as a way of communicating your lens of how you see the world?
Part 2:
Choose ONE of the following:
- For those of you that have comments and feedback from me, go ahead and respond to them and explore where the questions I asked take you!
- Think about ways you would, could, or should apply the question generation techniques in your life. That is to say, times outside of dialogue where asking clarifying questions or questions that bring others into the conversation (or connect it to larger social circumstances) might be helpful. Just to name a few - relationships, discussions with friends, religious events, etc...
- Talk about one of the articles that really interested you and connect it to what we've been talking about in class. Go free-form but make sure it fits the journal norms (perspective taking, self-reflection, critical thinking, etc...)
