How did I use the constructivist principles during the last 2 weeks?

During creative writing, I asked them to add more to their assignment—asked them to highlight the words that made an article persuasive. And asked them to identify the words :
Verbs, describing words, etc.
Accepting different perspective-how student will relate, how teacher would relate and how I need to accept it.
Doing the Kathy—stepping back.
Call the teacher—facilitator and students—learners.
Whole to part-part to whole-modeling
Asked ?s in circle.
Important to have training with students on how to have discussions—being respectful of each other and not to take things personally.
