Reflection on Exercise of Free Write and Poem

Personally, I don’t like writing poem at all… because I am bad at it, and it brings me pressure and frustration. Yet it’s impossible to please everyone. However, I really like the ideas of incorporate other subjects into math.

Strengths:
- Free write is a good exercise to introduce students a new topic and concept
- Students have to be active thinking
- It helps brainstorming the ideas associate with the word/topic
- It brings other subjects into math, so people who dislike math might find it interesting and start to like it

Weakness:
- For people who don’t like math and poem for instance, it will bring more pressure to them
- The time limit for free write might brings pressure as well since the students cannot think of anything at that moment
