Mr.Armstrong started greeting us when we were on our seats, getting ready for the IC/OC seminar. When the bell rang, we started right away. First, Mr.Armstrong explained about the handouts that were placed on the desks. There were three handouts. A stapled piece of paper, grade sheet, and notes sheet. We put our names on it and he gave us time to write our reflection on the other side of the grade sheet that had a place to write the reflection. After we finished writing the reflection, and getting ready for the seminar, we started.
The inner circle started first. The inner circle talked about some of the main ideas of The Early Presedencies. The inner circle did quite well on answering the basic main ideas of that section, but when DK asked a question to the group, the inner circle was kind of stuck. But with Mr.Armstrong's clarification, inner circle was able to get through the confusing part. When inner circle's discussion ended, outer circle had the time to ask or add on to the inner circle's information. Outer circle used this time really wisely to ask the inner circle what they are still confused on, and what they don't know. I think the outer circle also did very well on adding some extra informations, and clarifying some facts that the inner circle didn't really do well on. After the inner circle's discussion, we got up and changed. Inner circle people went to the outside, and the outer circle people went inside the circle.
Outer circle was a very active discussion. As always, Soyon, Sungmo, and Britney were very active and brought up a lot of facts that helped other people understand better in some things. There were some people in both inner circle and outer circle that didn't really talk alot, or at all. But, Mr.Armstrong gave most of them chances to talk and raise their grades. I think the people that talks a lot during the seminar should sometimes give the quite ones a chance to talk. Remember you quite people, 'Silence is Deadly'.
