Blog Assignment #6, part 1

I was having technical difficulties today, and Microsoft Office kept quitting on me, so I finally gave up and decided to just type your blog assignment directly into the blog itself. 

Here's the first part:
Chapter 13 discusses how the principles we talked about earlier in the semester form the foundation for 'structuring a theory of interaction in the language classroom'.   With your partner, look back over the list of articles that you both posted last week from our trip to the library.  Do any of the articles discuss the importance of interaction in relation to the principle that was researched?  If so, read the abstracts for those articles.  If not, think about why interaction is not stressed for that principle.  Discuss with your partner how interaction can help build that principle, and how that principle affects interaction.  Together, write a paragraph or two that discusses that principle in relation to interaction, and post it in the comments section of the original citation list.  Include your name and your partner's name, please!  Be prepared to summarize both principles and how they relate to interaction for the rest of the students at the end of class (if there is time).

When you finish this section of the blog assignment, move on to part 2 in the next post.
