Assignment # 5C

For this assignment, you will post a reflection of the class journey -- where did we start, where did we go, what did you learn, whose shoes did you walk in along the way. Include in your work the following:

1. What difference did you notice in your choice of topics in the first part of the class versus the topics found in the texts My California and Train Go Sorry?

In the beginning assignments of the class, the class focused on the history and culture to the state of California. The most famous cities and historical cites of california. Also the museums, beaches and place to visit in the state of CA. Overall information of the culture of this state adn events that made California as historical state that is today in the united state.
Where as the books of california and train go sorry focuses on certain topic of the books. One was about short stories that took place in california and teh topic of Deaf community connect with ASL.
The topics in the first half was about experience of visting places that reflect the history of this state and for students to get the full experience by the field trips that we did on the assignements.



2. What difference did you notice when you read your classmates work regarding the same topics versus your own opinions? Did their works make you think of something different?

I think that all students have their different opinions on certain topics but all students have the same views on a topic. I did not see alot differences on the assigned topics trough out the semester but contribute their views on California history. After reading a few other students blogs on thei trips to beaches or museums i did learn more about a topic and how much california has to offer to the long time residents that live here.




3. How would Freire and the idea of dialogue and scaffolding play into your answers?

His ideas did come contribute to my opinions on social responsiblity and the amount of different cultures that live in the state of california. A person to find more information on other cultures or backgrounds that they are not familar with, is a person that is interested in learn more. Communcating with people with different languages and unfamilar interests is a person that puts effort in learning something about other people.



4. What was your overall experience with these topics?

I was definitley interested in the topics that were assigned in this class because i learned something about the topic. I would say i learned more about california, its past history and events about this state. The more i came out learning in the class was the field trips that we took and our independence of visting cities and places that i have never been to until this class came about. I different got more learning perspective by traveling and visting other places in california.
