~2c Disneyland
2. Contains the sources you used with links to these sources .25 points
3. Contains a brief paragraph how it connects to your study of humanities. 1 point
~This connects to my study of humanities because Disneyland is a main part of California Culture. There is something about Disneyland that everyone can love, no matter their age. Also, Disneyland gives you a taste of different cultures (eg. New Orleans) and time periods (eg. Tomorrowland).
4. Contains the following "analytical elements":
a. Observation: What did you choose? What do you see or hear or feel or think of in the choice you made? What is the subject of the work? If you chose a 'thing' what is the work made of and what techniques (colors, lines, shapes, textures)does the creator use? Be specific in your description. If you chose a place, be specific in your description of what you see or hear. Talk to your reader as though they cannot see the item but somehow must draw a painting of what you see or hear. 1 point
~I chose Disneyland Park. I am very happy with my choice. I have been to Disneyland over 20 times and I still love it. As you walk onto Disneyland's property, it is like you step into another world. The atmosphere is light and happy, music is playing, and the excitement of everything is buzzing. As you walk down Main Street you might run into your favorite character or go shopping through a specialty shop. When you reach the end of the street, you are in the main hub of Disneyland. Ahead of you is the "Partners Statue" of Walt and Mickey. Behind that is Sleeping Beauty's Castle, the gateway to Fantasyland. From that main hub, adventure is surrounding you with all the different lands and rides.
b. Interpretation: What is your choice about? Give specific examples to support this statement in 2 sentences; do so in a way that teaches us something about your choice. Make Paulo Freire proud! .75 point
~My choice of Disneyland is about learning about California's Culture through fun and hands on experiences. Most everything in Disneyland has something to teach everyone.
c. Judgment: What led you to your choice? What do you think or feel about this choice? Why do you feel this way? Support your thoughts with specific observations. .5 point
~I chose Disneyland because it is one of my favorite places in California. I am glad that I chose this place. I think that it is a great example of learning the way Freire believed.
d.Questioning: What else would you like to know about this choice? When completing the question section, lead your audience into the question by stating a fact you do know, yet you still have the related question. This way, both your audience and you will have an educational experience. Example: I learned that John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath was based on his personal experience working with farm workers. I would like to know if the characters he used in that book are fictitious or are they people he met? .5 point
~I know that Disneyland decorates for Halloween and Christmas, but I would like to know if they decorate for other holidays like Easter?
5. Using your classmates work from last week, tell us one thing you learned from 1 student. Is this one thing some common experience you share or some experience that is completely different than what you experienced? Is this one thing related to our class theoretical foundation and if so, how? Is that one thing related to historical or cultural context of this country or a different one? Link that persons blog to this entry (eg cut paste that blog entry here) .5 point
~From Christina I learned that the Oakland Museum of California has many displays of California culture in it. This is different from my experience with the Exploratorium because my museum was more about science and this museum is more about California. This is related to the foundation of our class because both have to do with learning. The Oakland museum is related to historical and cultural context and the Exploratorium is not really related to that.
