Today the students did their final presentation for Erosion vs. Weathering. They did their thinking maps to compare and contrast both of these topics in groups of four. "Why do we have to do any presentations?" a student asked his teammate. "Because you will have a job in which you have to present or do research or have to talk to other people?" his teammate told him very confidently. "I don't think so. What kind of job requires you to talk to other people all the time or even present? I think we are wasting our time doing this.!" he replied. "Honey most jobs require you to interact with people!" I butted in to their conversation. "I think you are wrong Ms. Torres!" He answered. REally? Really? Be the way, he was not even here for his presentation and he let his group down and they lost points because of him. How Rude!!!
