In this chapter, one of the students is quoted saying, “If
there’s confusion on my face, I want you to see it. If there’s disagreement, I
want you to say, ‘You disagree? Why?’” (4).
This quote
jumped out to me because I was able to relate to my own experience as a
student. As an introverted person, I am typically quite quiet in class.
However, I always have a lot of thoughts going on in my head that I often
portray through my facial expressions. These non-verbal cues are a signal to my
teachers about what I’m thinking and feeling. If the teachers I had in high
school were more observant of these cues, they may have been able to encourage
me to speak more in class or they would have been able to see that I am engaged
in and thinking deeply about the material.
