When you look at everything we have done this semester, what stands out to you as meaningful? Pick 3 things that you think will stick with you (article, quote, video, podcast, activity, etc)
First thing that stands out to me the most is the card game we all played together. That was a wonderful way to show students what it's like to learn things differently and have different culture norms and backgrounds. I was proud of myself for getting why we were playing that game and being able to explain what it meant afterwards.
Second thing that stands out to me is the day we talked about LGBTQ rights and whats going on in our country today with all the stuff that Trump is doing. It stands out to me because I was glad it was being brought up and I felt like my voice mattered in the class as someone who is trans. But it also stands out to me because i was so nervous to say whats on my mind but I did anyway, and it felt good to get it out. I do wish we talked about more of the stuff that Trump has done thats caused many other minority groups to suffer aswell, if you're gonna bring up one problem why not bring up more things he's done y'know? I want other students to feel like how I felt that day being able to speak whats on their mind.
Last thing that stands out to me is when we looked at the privilege wheel and shared with partners what privileges we have and don't have, it was interesting to see what differences I had with my partner, it was a very extreme difference so hearing each others backgrounds compared was interesting to hear. I even showed some friends outside of class the wheel and we talked about our differences and how it effects us, I think that wheel is a good activity for people to do.
1. The authors I've chosen for my Key Assesment are Rodriguez and Kohn.
2. Rodriguez's central arguement is the cultural conflict of learning a new language in a new country as a kid. Kohns arguemnt is that classrooms needs collaborative learning.
