Arons 1.1-1.12 etc

SOCS - I
After reading the first few sections of Arons "Teaching Introductory Physics" I am feeling pretty good about what I have been doing in my class.  In one instance he talks about requiring students to tell the story about what 2.3 g/cm^3 means.  This is a standard practice for me.  I still think I can get better at leading students as a group to ask these same questions of each other, but I feel like I have at least recognized that there is a need for this verbal reasoning.  Now I just need to improve at leading/guiding the students to their own revelations.
