Clock Talk

1. How are the clock conversations going for you? Good idea or not why?

2. Let us know what role you usually play during social activities, ie... shy, outgoing, silly, withdrawn, scared, intimidated.

  2. I think the clock conversations are interesting, a little awkward at first. I am enjoying getting to know everyone in the class little by little though. I am normally pretty shy when it comes to meeting new people, but once I get to know them I'm really outgoing.

  3. The clock conversations are pretty interesting. I remember doing something like this in fourth or fifth grade. It's a good way to meet new people, though it can be a little awkward. I'm usually shy when I first meet someone, but once I get to know others more, I can be pretty outgoing.

  4. I think the clock ideas are a pretty swoon idea. I learned some pretty neat things about people that Im 98.9% sure I wouldn't have ever found out if it wasn't for this activity. I guess you could say I was outgoing? I think I may have scared some people because I said some pretty weird stuff but I got bored of telling the same story..so sorry if I scared you.

  5. I like the clock idea. I think it's a good way to know more about people we don't really talk to or don't know that well. Plus, we learn many interesting things about each other. I mostly just go with the flow. I'm not too serious nor am I too outgoing. I'm right smack in the middle.

  6. With some people, I automatically click with my partner and talking for a minute is really easy for me. But for others, I struggle a little more at trying to come up with more things to say. It really depends on who I'm talking to and what image they portray. If they give off a happy positive vibe, then I'm happy too and talk extremely fast. If they seem less interested in playing the game, though, then it becomes awkward and I just ramble on and onnnn. Not like I wasn't rambling before, but now it's sort of an awkward ramble. So the clock partners activity is a plus and a minus for me, but mostly a good thing because you pick up on what type of person they are, not what defines them. As for any other social activity, it all depends on my environment. When I'm surrounded by plenty of friends I'll be outgoing and weird. Then again if I'm not, then I'm more solitary and pulled back to an extent.

  7. I like the clocks, it helped me to get to know people and learn more about them. I'm looking forward to the ones where we can have a conversation because I think they will be easier, but also more fun and interesting. In a social activity, it depends on the situation but I tend to be a little shy, but I can also be pretty outgoing. It normally depends on my mood and the people I am with and how comfortable I feel around them.

  8. Personally, I think that the clock partners are a good idea, but it's difficult to get to know someone in one minute, especially build a trusting relationship with that person. However, I think that it is a fun and interesting way to learn a little more about our classmates. During social activities I am usually more outgoing if I know the people that I am being partnered up with or on a team with. Nonetheless, I still tend to be more shy during the activities right now.

  9. So far I like the clocks because I'm beginning to know more people and see how nice they are, and I am becoming less awkward by talking for 1 minute, and I'm getting used to it. I am usually outgoing or silly during social activities, but rarely in some situations I might be a little timid.

  11. I like the clocks because it's a fun and interesting way for me to get to know more people in the class that I would've never really had that kind of conversation within the first few days of class. Depending on my environment and the people I'm with I'm usually a pretty outgoing person, but sometimes ,like when I'm meeting new people, I can be a little shy.

  13. I'm very much enjoying the clock activities. Speaking and getting to know people is always something I've found enjoyable and comes pretty easily to me. I mean, I'm on speech team. I talk in front of people for fun. This activity has been a good learning experience, though. There were certain points with new people in which I had to hold back a bit since I can be outgoing to the point that I can be overbearing or scary. I think this is a great activity for the outgoing and shy alike.

  14. I think the clock activities are pretty cool. Its also fun seeing that different side to everyone and kinda getting to know them on a more personal level.

  15. I like the clocks this year because I think theyre an easier way to be able to talk to people you might not normally talk to. and you get to know the people in your class better than in the normal gym classes. normally im a pretty conservative person when I first meet someone but I become very outgoing pretty quick.

  16. I enjoy the clock talks a lot. They're interesting and fun.
    During group activates, I feel shy sometimes. But with the one-one or small groups I'm more outgoing.

  17. I liked the clock talks. They really helped me learn more about the people in this class. I would say that I am shy, but when I get into the swing of things, I get outgoing and talk alot. I would say that I am someone who dives headfirst into things that i'm unsure about, which includes talking and opening up about myself.

  18. I thought the clock talks were and interesting and new way to get to know people. Its like an easy ice breaker instead of taking weeks to get to know someone. I have always been a really shy person, but after I get to know you I am pretty out going aand like to have fun.

  19. It's a pretty good idea to get to know more about other people, but I just personally don't like them. I just hate thinking about things to say.

  20. The clock wasn't really good the first time since most people went straight for their friends. it wasn't until the second, when you had to get new people that it actually became "new people." As for activities, im only outgoing if no one else is. or if the one in charge is doing the activity wrong. otherwise, i just go with the flow.

  23. I feel the clock conversations are a good idea. They are going fine and it's a good way to meet new people. I am usually more on the shy side when doing activities, but once I get to know people I can open up.

  25. i like the clock activity thing a lot, plus only having to talk for a minute is cool because you don't end up having a lot of extra time without having anything to say. oh and yeah im usually kinda sorta shy.

  27. I think the clock activity is a really nice way to find out more about people you wouldn't usually know or might not find out. It has helped me get to know people a lot better. Also usually with the activities I try to be as outgoing as I can, and try to make things the least awkward and most fun the activity can be.

  28. I find the clock conversations really interesting and fun. It let's you find people who share the same interest or have something in common with you. I'm usually part of the crowd in most activities unless I'm with my friends or I feel really hyper that day.

  31. The clock conversations are really inciteful and I feel like I really am connecting with people when I talk to them in this forced situation. It is a greeeeaat idea!
    I am usually the more outgoing person and have found that to make the other person talk more I have to ask them questions and crack jokes.

  32. I like the clock idea it gives me a chance to get to know things about people that I never would've guesses and and is a good way to get two people who don't know eachother to get tostart to get to know eachother usually it depends who I'm with if I'm with friends I tend to be more outgoing but if I'm with people I don't know I'm more quiet
