this week we had a socratic seminar which is when we read a piece of a reading or a book and then we sit down a have a discussion about how we felt it portrayed and how we understood what it was trying to say. The reading was named Corn's conquest and it was about a man talking about the fact that corn practically runs our world since there are so many uses for corn and its one of the cheapest crops for corporations to buy. I felt our discussion was a good source of knowledge and I learned a lot of things From the discussion and I got to see other people's views of the matter and what questions they had. One thing I did well was participated and being respectful when someone was talking I also engaged in some of the conversations they were having. One thing I thought I could of done better was meeting my goal I had set myself I had only accomplished half of my goal which was a bummer to me because I know I could of reached it if I would of participated a little more. This week we went to a farmers market to observe and talk to the vendors and customers to implement some tips and tactics we received form them. we split our groups in half in my group there was 3 people on one team and 2 on my team Joshua and I. It would have been 3 in my group as well but one student had gone home and me and my partner had to find vendors and interview them. We had to get three interviews in total for vendors the rest of our group was finding customers to interview. one thing I think I did well was speaking to strangers because I do not really like speaking in public less to strangers. one thing I thought I could of done better was being faster at getting interviews because we got our three vendors but the rest of our group has gotten no customers so we had grouped up and asked some costumers but we only got 2 interviews overall I think it was a good experience for me because I got to get out of my comfort zone.
