Senate Session

I enjoyed how everyone took part in the session and stated their opinion. They would talk about what they wanted to happen instead and give new ideas. I also got frustrated when people would raise their hand and ask the same question over and over again or when a bill would get passed that makes no sense at all to pass.

One thing I learned about our class is that we all want to participate but sometimes we don’t listen and pay attention to what others are saying and then we miss out on important things. Our class is also more of a visual class. I learned that I get frustrated when I have a different opinion about a bill being made but it still passes. I learned that our government has a lot of disagreements but we have to give our opinion in order to work things out because if no one says anything it will never work out.

In the future I think we should keep engaging and giving opinions in the session but I also think we should give other people a chance to state their opinion and listen to what they are saying. I think I should speak up more about my opinion and compromise even if its not what I think is right. I also think we should write more things on the board so people can see the numbers and not have to repeat it all the time.

I liked the discussions in the senate session and how we got into debates about bills that we thought were wrong. I also liked how people  were willing to compromise and try to change what is wrong. I think next session we don’t use the tabling the motion thing because we just used that when we didn’t want to keep talking about the same thing. We should just make amendments instead and try to fix the problem right away instead of waiting a day and then doing it all over again. We can use it once in a while just not all the time if we don’t like a bill.

I agree with your frustrations. I like how you want to share you’re own opinion and don’t want to follow the crowd. Great stuff!(:

Good job Kenzie!! I agree that it would be easier if we wrote more things on the board for everyone to see. I also agree with the things you learned about the class.
