Because I was recording the class with Zoom technology, I was able to watch and listen after students left. I discovered that they finished up the group presentation and then asked if they could each share one positive thing that had happened recently or a &#8220;highlight&#8221;. Watching the recording, I was deeply moved. One student shared that he has secured the summer job he had been seeking at a local mill. Another shared that her father&#8217;s cancer is in remission. I wondered (hoped?) if the way we built a<span>\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"il\">learning<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span>community in this course helped students feel comfortable sharing with each other and more apt to take academic risks. I worked to build in consistent opportunities for students to talk with each other in both a social constructivist approach, and also with the fact that we are still emotionally raw from isolation and trauma experienced in a global pandemic in mind.
