Metacognitive Reflection

Throughout the duration of the first socratic circle it became clear that I had a weakness in active participation. However I felt that due to the "tallying" and record keeping it caused responses to be hostile and often I found myself submitting to others as they talked and became more of a listener. As a result I feel that during the next socratic circle there will not be so much competition that I will be more willing to participate. As an extra initiative I will also try to be more opinionated with the topic at hand. Employing this single method I feel that I will be more of an active participant than a listener. However currently if i had to give myself a title after this socratic circle I would call myself a Active listener, passive participator.
