"ho:ooo" Lenora!
Your performer to audience metaphor would mean that I am the performer=20
as it was me originally who asked us to put up our hands!! I must say=20
that unfortunately I have no 'on stage' abilities such as musical/acting=20
talent. =20
I was then promted to think of another classroom metaphor: the=20
'think/pair/share' type activity. Many are mentioning 'partners' in=20
their postings to the list rather than directly sharing e.g. I refered=20
to Eva's previous suggestion when I came forward initially. It can be=20
scary addressing a large audience but much less threatening to simply=20
'share' the adventure with a 'partner'. I guess that way, if it goes=20
wrong, you are not the only one to blame??!!
Thanks for joining me and the rest of us in our sharing activity.
Who's next?
Regards to all from 'Down Under'

She's a lurker, he's a lurker, I'm a lurker, too. =20
I'm a graduate student exploring possibilities, constraints, successes,
and problems in collaborative action research among university
researchers, teachers, and administrators. =20
Just thought I'd share how differently I saw the call for "Hands up."=20
Rather than see a classroom, I saw a concert. I envisioned the
performer calling out to the audience (as a lurker, I am definitely
audience and not performer) "every body put your hands up in the air and
say 'ho:oo.'" As dutiful audience member, I am waving my hands in the
air calling back "ho:ooo."=20
Thank you for the wonderful conversations you let me listen in on.
