5c reflections

1.Who is your classmate, what is the component category, what is the name of the choice?
Classmate David,
Component A My California
Authors tobar, Steinbeck, Humes, Warshaw

2. What is something this classmate said about the choice that relates to any of the assignments in projects 2-3?
Transportation is a big part of any community. In our projects we talked about how different places compared to one another. He points out that LA has advanced so far since the 1960s in transportation

3. What is something different this classmate said about their choice that you did not realize before when you completed projects 2-3?
I did not realize that Santa Cruz in 1885 was where surfing first began in California. You would think in all the research we did on beaches that would of come up.

4. How would you relate this to Freire's ideas regarding dialogue?
I think through talking about the stories involving places we have studied, we can create better understanding for the places. David knew where surfing started in California from reading this book; maybe there is something I can teach him.

5. How has project 2-3 helped you with the readings of the textbook?
I think in doing projects 2 and 3 I was able to learn about some of the places that were talked about in the book before I read it. This made the stories a little more interesting because I had a better sense of setting.

Hi Mike,
Did you ever lose a class ring? I found one. If you did, email me a description and the high school you went to and I can see if it is yours. mblota@sbcglobal.net
