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.
