What Makes a Good Learner? What Makes a Good Teacher?

Yesterday we tried a very interesting activity in class.  Students were asked "what makes a good learner?"  After having some think time, they worked in groups and participated in an All Write Round Robin (Kagan Strategy), writing their ideas down on a sheet of paper. Some very interesting answers came out.  I asked students if they think they discovered some things they needed to work on to become a good learner. It was good to see the students evaluating themselves in this way.

I also asked them "what makes a good teacher?" They were very excited about answering this one!!  We did the same activity to come up with answers for this one and I will be looking at these to see where I can also improve - although I'm pretty sure I got the "loud" bit covered.
