What I learned

At the beginning of class my goals were to understand communication between different kinds of people and to get an A in the class. Even though I haven't gotten an A in the class I have learned alot in how to communicate with different kinds of people. I learned many different "techniques" in communication in race, gender, and even people with different kinds of disabilities. I loved having this class because I learned things that would help me with things in life and work. This class was fun with the snacks and and all the different kinds of activities that we all participated in. I can't wait to come back next year and be able to use my communication skills when I go to Europe and with the new students of next year.

Freedom Writers

I've never seen the freedom writers before so when I watched it for the first time in class the other day I really thought that it was interesting and it brought up a different perspective for me. I really have never been apart of such a life like that so I wouldn't know what it feels like. I feel like this movie helped me see what it's like in some places of the country. I think the movie did a really showed what it's like in all aspects of the spectrum. Like the movie really displayed what it would be like in some places of the country. Second I think the movie did a really good job in showing that we as people should not fight amongst ourselves and that all people should really just appreciate everyones personal voice. I also think the movie covered the diversity topic pretty well. America is the melting pot! and us as people should understand that we all are Americans. It showed that learning english isn't everything and that there is a bigger picture then to just learn about the boring stuff.
