Blog of September 25th

 Today in class we started off by taking notes on characterization. We took notes on direct characterization and indirect characterization and examples from the text. We took notes on what STEAL stands for and we actually took examples from the text. This was a nice exercise to jog my memory on characterization. We ended the class by continuing to read the book.  MY overall day was great. Classes were good.

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

 Prompt Response: I would choose a Private island with crystal clear water, full service spa, and amazing temperature and sunsets views. A small group will be coming with me because I like to keep my circle small. I would only bring my 2 closest friends and maybe a cousin of mines. We would watch the sun rise and sunset every morning and night. We would go for beautiful and fleshing swims in the ocean. We’d cook each other food. And go out and take pictures. We’d got jet skiing and waterfall diving. We’d do fancy boat rides, try new foods, go to local shopping centers and more.  Summary: Today was a good day. We used today as a recovery day. We completed all and any missing assignments or bad grades assignments. We kept the class quiet. We ended the class by completing our blog posts.  Reflection: We didn’t have a lesson today, so I can’t give a reflection. But I would like to reflect on how I feel spring break should go for me. I’m going to get in some sleep that I’ve be...

Consider a film that portrays your culture. Reflect on how accurately your culture is represented and the potential impacts of this portrayal.

 Prompt Response: A film that portrays my culture is the Pixar movie “Soul”, this movies portrays aspects of black African American culture. This film captures the vibrancy of black culture through its depiction jazz, barbershop culture and community life in New York. Soul introduces global audiences to the richness of black culture in a way that is both respectful and celebratory.  Summary: Today was an easy class. Today our task was to present our project on cultural and their stereotypes negative and positive. As I watched everyone’s presentation I learned a lot about the dangers of a single story. I learned that you shouldn’t follow stereotypes of any kind. You should get to know the person as a whole and not based off of these stereotypes. Stereotypes can be very dangerous in the media. Films and tv shows can impact the way we all perceive each other. We ended the class period we completing our blog posts.  Reflection: Today I learned how significant the dangers of a...

Write about a time when you realized that your perception of a person or group was based on stereotypes. How did this realization affect your behavior or beliefs? What steps did you take to change your perceptions?"

 Prompt response : A time that I realized at the way I viewed a certain group of people was shared by stereotypes without me noticing was when I was younger maybe middle school. The stereotype was that Asians always eat rice and they are all very smart. I grew up hearing this so I a,ways went with it. But that’s not the case always because many Asians don’t even like rice and most Asian aren’t as well educated as most. I started to see this as an unfair stereotype . I said to myself that we can’t judge people based off strotyoes.   Summary: Today we were given a new project. It was a group project. We were put into groups. Our task was a project over the article we read called The dangers of a Single Story. We had to pick a ,live or tv show that depicts the negative stereotypes of a certain culture listed. Once chosen that film we were to create a PowerPoint and showcase that knowledge and understanding.  Reflection: Todays lesson can help with real world situations. Unde...
