Wells

Wells
I think that Well’s idea about how the “classroom is seen as a collaborative community” relates to Dewey’s article and adds an extra dimension. I like how Wells describes a classroom as a community and not just a collection of individuals. It is important for there to be discussion within a class setting to generalize what you are learning about and bring a different perspective from all the students to the forefront. I think it is very interesting that the diversity and background of each individual makes each lesson unique in a way that no two lessons can be the same with different individuals. Dewey relates to Wells in a way that they agree that achievement depends on a collaboration of these individuals past experiences and backgrounds as a whole. Each person has a different perspective and it can only help to share what each person thinks.
