 * Group 2:**

I expected to learn more about how an individual's personal experiences influence the way they learn history and interpret primary and secondary historical sources.

I received several insights about how students in a diverse classroom may have a problem connecting to historical information.

I learned much more about the group members by our time sharing about our own personal background and exploring how it influences the way we view and teach history.

I valued the time spend learning about the group members I am working with. It gave me a much greater understanding of the people I am sharing this time with and learning so much from.

I still need or want to know more about how to create ways in which I can make students from diverse backgrounds connect to the historical knowledge they will need for the courses I teach.

After this session, I plan to make revisions to the Document Analysis Worksheet I created to make it a more effective tool for historical inquiry.

As a result of this session, I think differently about why students tune out the information presented in class. I always figuered it was boredom and lack of interest, but it may also be there personal experiences hinder their understanding of why things happened in the past.
