Throughout the discussion they talked about how the natives were treated by the colonist and the promoters. They also talked about the colonist and their terrible decisions that ended up impacting them. Like being lazy and not wanting to farm, the environment they lived in, and the harsh punishments they gave to their own people (like putting rods through their mouth so they wouldn't eat any more). They also talked about the promoters ambitions intentions of gaining more money and land, while doing very little work. Those were just of the things discussed.
The class performed really well the people in the middle having the discussion were really into, they made it humorous to watch while still spitting out some facts. Also personally taking notes was hard because they were talking very fast and speaking/yelling over each other. So next time they should step in and step out of the discussion, so not so many people are speaking at the same time. I thought the fishbowl discussion was very funny but it also helped me understand some of the content of the book I did not understand before. I feel that the group the performed the best was the natives. This is because the Natives we using a lot of textual evidence and hard pretty good stories about their people. A very interesting point that was made was that not many of the promotres went to America, so they had no idea of what was going on. That is something I kind of forgot, but that was important to mention during the discussion.There was nothing confusing about the discussion. I do not have any further questions about that time period.

The princess loved observing many things. She loved observing her subordinate people work for her. It gave her great pleasure to see her sailors leave to circumnavigate all around the world and bring her back many extravagant objects. Deep down she also loved seeing the kingdom's babies germinate into lovely little kids, even though she would never admit to it. The kingdom saw her as weird and crazy, her tawny eyes made people uncomfortable and people do not trust her. She would describe herself as an amazing future leader, she believed herself to be judicious, caring, and smart. She knew she was being fanciful the kingdom people would never accept her as future queen. Her father tried reassuring her everything would work out in the end. She knew that her father was living in a fallacy, she knew he was totally oblivious to what the kingdom thought of her. Her father's epoch was almost done, he was becoming old and sick, she would have to wed soon. Sometimes she wishes she had seamanship skills so she could sail away and never come back. The princess could only dream of acceptance and hope she could be loved and trusted as her father. Hereafter nothing would matter but earn the trust and love of her kingdom.
Some patterns and connections I noticed during the scavenger hunt at Balboa park was that they all related back to early American history. We learned about early American immigrants and learned about early American life. That relates back to the stations we did for the project launch. The artifacts that were the most interesting were the fountain that had the yellow vase next to it. I want to know the story behind it. Another one was the Chicano Park Murals, those always really fascinated me. Especially because most are about Latino culture so it seems that they are just for me. It confirmed the point history is something that needs to be written through multiple perspectives. At the museum, they had different stories of the same event in history, But the feeling you get is based on which perspective you read. Something I noticed about the curation at the museum was that each room was a different subtopic that all went back to the main topic. The topics presented were early American life, early American history, paintings, and women in history just to name a few. The story of Peter and the wolf was presented in a very artistic way, I liked that the set was being made as the story progressed.
My first impression of the 11th grade was that it was going to be a very challenging year. I feel this year there will be lots of growing and changing, whether that be personal or academic. There is going to be lots of work so time management will be extremely important.
I am really looking forward to accomplishing my honors project because that will make me feel really accomplished. I am also really looking forward to learning about history. Everything we have learned about thus far has been very interesting to learn about. Also, internship is something I am really excited about. I am nervous about the workload. Even though I have good time management skills, I am still nervous about not being able to finish all the work. I think this year I have actually really enjoyed learning about history and other topics. I really enjoyed learning about the rhetoric. Also, the first reading we did was super interesting, It really got me thinking about American's and our beliefs. Also with our reading on Christopher Columbus really helped me realize how white people wrote our history. Even though the Columbus reading was long and repetitive it was really interesting. I learn best in small groups and examples really help me. My strengths in humanities consist of being able to be empathetic with other people. Also being a listener is something I am good at. I would like more help when it comes to writing (so more critique and just help with starting papers) and I will like help with understanding the reading material. |
