A POEM FOR 2 VOICES
One of todays topics on moodle was about "A Poem for 2 Voices." I found this assignment really interesting because it is something I have never done personally. The style of the poem gives you a dual perspective at the same time and I find it very useful in everyday life. A perfect example is a marriage. I speak for myself on this topic so please don't get upset. If we took the time to express our feelings as well as hearing our spouses side of things, our communication would be flawless. Although that may not always happen, it is something you need to take into consideration if you ever find yourself getting into a big argument. I find myself using this method in teaching because I want to show my students what perspective looks like.

That's an excellent way of looking at it, Angelo. Sometimes we forget that it takes two for a partnership to work. If either of the partners is denied input or expression it will cease to be a partnership, but if both sides are heard clearly and work in unison, the output is a beautiful thing. Just like the Poem for Two Voices.
