Assignment 5c

For this assignment, you will post a reflection of the class journey:

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?

The first part of class was learning how to use blogs and learning about Freire from each other. This was the beginning about learning from our classmates and went on to help us when we read My California and needed to teach each other about ­­­­­­­­­­the stories we learned. We also all were able to give our takes on Train Go Sorry to learn more that may have been overlooked by one person.

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 learned a lot through reading the posts made by my classmates. I always view things through the most logical way I can. I have always tried to leave emotions out of any decision I have made and try to make the ‘right’ choice. By reading my classmate’s posts about our different readings, I was able to look at different readings and stories through the eyes of others, which always brings up different questions, solves answers and enables myself to see the world differently.

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

Freire’s ideas helped me communicate with my classmates and always maintain the thought that I am lucky to be able to be educated when others only dream on this. I learned how to describe stories so my classmates can learn from my knowledge.

4. What was your overall experience with these topics?

This was the first online class I have taken and because of the wonderful experience I had with this blog, I will definitely take another online class and take the ideas I have learned, from Freire, My California and Train Go Sorry, through the other classes I take and on into my life.

Assignment 5b, Maria, Kayleb(Ly) & Sierra
I learned a lot by reading Train Go Sorry. I also learned a lot by reading my fellow classmates blogs. For this assignment I chose to read Maria, Kayleb(Ly) and Sierra’s blogs.

Maria: I learned that the deaf community paid particular attention to James Taylor and one day when he did not come to school, they went to his house to make sure everything was ok.

Kayleb(Ly): I learned that for Leah Cohen, being an interpreter brought her closer to ASL because I think that she will not ever be close to the culture because she can hear.

Sierra: I learned that the author is even remotely talking about James as missing the boat. I believed from the very beginning of the book Cohen was speaking of Joseph, but after reading he blog, Cohen might be referring to both brothers.
