Clasroom activity- chalk talk
What did everyone think of the Chalk Talk activity last week? How did you enjoy writing about the wide range of topics? What did you like about it? What didn't you like?
What are some ways to make this activity better next time?

I THINK THAT THE ACVTIVITY WE DID WAS INCREDIBLE WE ALL GOT TO EXPRESS OURSELVES AND SHOW WHAT WE FEEL AND THINK WE SHOULD DO IT MORE OFTEN
I THINK THAT WAS GOOD
I FEEL GOOD ABOUT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT.
I THINK THE DISCUSSION IS A GOOD IDEA TO DESCRIBE DIFFEENT IDEAS.
to me the activity was good. only thing, i think the paper should be wider so everything wont be all mixed
and it can be easy to read

i had to express my feelings.somethings are kind of hard for me.so it made it easier to write it down.

i think it pretty good because it shows evrybodys idea and people can disagree or agree or put somthing new in the topic. you can piggy back an idea and put more information the person hadnt put before
=]
I really think that the activity we did was very fun and interseting and i mean with some of the comments in the papers i had a connection with and i felt so much better, i let out everything i had inside and i felt much better and i saw how some people were going through what i am going through. a lot of people were not taking it seriously. they were just writing down some inappropiate things and they could have done a better wat to describe everything and could have been more specific when disagreeing with other people. but i would like to do this activity again someday.
I thought that it was a good way for us to express our feelings with out having to argue about it with everyone else.It's nice that we could state opinions in private.
OK..well i really liked it bkuz i could express my self with out nobody tellin me ''oh your dumb'' or something like that...i really dont like to express my self in front of people about things like that..bkuz some people have different point of views about things. but i really enjoyed it. 
the part that really bothered me was that some people kept writing ''im hungry'', ''i want mcds''! they didnt take it seriously like some of us did!! 
FOR REVENGE I THINK SOME WAS WRONG BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPEN YOU SHOULD NOT FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE BECAUSE IT WILL CAUSE A BIGGER FIRE
FOR LYING WELL IM NOT SAYING IT GOOD TO LIE BUT I THINK IF YOU SHOULD LIE YOU SHOULD ONLY LIE WHEN YOU REALLY HAVE TO.(EMERGENCY WISE)
NOW FOR VIOLENCE I AGREE WITH SOME OF THEM YOU USE VIOLENCE TO DEFEND YOURSELF.THEN I DISAGREE BECAUSE YOU SHOULDNT USE VIOLENCE WITH EVERY THING
Interesting ideas! Why, do you think, people didn't take it seriously?
Part of me liked the activity , but part of me was a little uneasy about some of the thoughts of others . It was a good way for us to get to know what everyone was thinking without sitting and in a class and going around one by one and voicing our opion .The scary part about the entire ordeal was you could actaully see that your friends didn't have the same opion as you , even though your friends opion has very different your still friends . 
I believe if we ever get to do the activity again people should be a bit more mature...!

I think this activity have helping most of the people are really shy in the classrom. I can freely write down my opinion without anyone knowning about it. Well, some other find out but just by handwirting not exactly find out who. It will be better next time if everybody will be participant.
well i think people really were afraid to express what they felt thinking that they would be embarrassing or just want to be alone and dont want any help and wants to keep it all in
people didnt take it seriously bkuz they havent matured!! THEY ARE STILL LITTLE KIDS!!! MATURE GUYS!! YALL ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!!
i think its because they are trying to be funny and they might havenot liked the activity for some odd reason or another

i think it was a good activity i like this but im mad at ms. stephan because i wnt to see barcelona game
Its great people don't know which people wrote what.
i think the chalk talk wuz a good idea cuz people can express wat they feel
i think this project is realy good bucause u can expres yourself in any way you want
i REAllY liKE tHiS ACtiViTy! iT WAS VERy iNTERESTiNq tO SEE WHAT OTHER PPl THOUqHt AbOUT tHE diffERENt TOPiCS. EVEN tHOUqH iT WOUlD hAVE bEEN bETTER if i hAd ACTUAllY bEEN THERE fOR tHE ACTiViTy
I liked the chalk talk activity because the students had a secret but open mind opinion about everyday teenage conflicts and way of life that was on a book that was writin a long time ago and this shows that nothing has changed in the ways of the teen life.
i really liked doing this activity because you get to express your feelings toward a topic and then you move on to another topic while other people do the same and can actually reply towards your comments and after wards u can see what people wrote about your feelings
I think that its ok because we shared ideas and thoughts of these things.
i really enjoyed last weeks chalk talk...i like the idea of walkin around and "tellin it like it is"...its was fun...i did not like the space we had to work with...
well i really like it because i get to express my expressions and most of the time i don't do it in class because i think i am wrong so i really like it and hopefully we do it often
i really liked the idea that u had of doin that wih the posters i thought it was really crative and fun i liked how we had to stand up and we could write anyting we wanted to but that had to be appropiate and idk i just really liked doing that it was a great experience thanks!!!!!
