Last week, we have learned about the TQLR (tuning in, questioning, listening and responding). We all have to tune in or to be attentive to the one who is talking in order for us to be able to question and respond about the topic he/she is talking about. We focus on the topic of the speaker so while waiting, we prepare questions related to the topic. We also have to listen to the speaker in order to find out the answers to our questions and lastly is to respond. In responding, you may comment to the speaker or you may add some ideas related to the topic of the speaker. We always have to use TQLR during discussions and also in seminars.
This week, we learned about a story entitled the "Everyday Use". In the African people, quilts are very important that it symbolizes the history of the African people and what the white people did to them. In the family of Mrs. Johnson, Dee and Maggie are her daughters. Maggie is a shy-type girl while Dee has a high-pride. Dee wants to have the quilt that her ancestors and her mother made to hang it in her apartment but this quilt was promised to be given to Maggie. So, why use it as a decoration if it is to be worn? We should always treasure and know the importance of every thing.

Treasuring things does not always mean keeping them somewhere. Using them as how they showed me used is another way.
