4c; refection on project 3 part 2

1. Who is your classmate, what is the component category, what is the name of the choice?

~The classmate I chose is Samantha. The category is 3b Beaches. The choice is Bodega Bay.

2. What is something similar this classmate said about the choice?

~Something similar that Samantha and I said about Bodega Bay is that it is cold there. I stated that people stereotype it as a warm beach because it is in California, and she said that Bodega Bay was colder than Seal Beach.

3. What is something different this classmate said about the choice?

~Something different is that Samantha stated that Bodega Bay is a popular surfing place. I said nothing about surfing. I felt that Bodega Bay was more well known for their Salt Water Taffy. This is something that we did not agree on.

4. How would you relate this to Freire's ideas regarding dialogue? For example, you went in thinking one idea, your classmate had a different idea. What new idea emerged from this process?

~Going into this, Samantha had certain ideas of what Bodega Bay was known for, and I had a completely different idea. Through this dialogue, I have learned that there are a lot of surfers in that area. I never knew that it was a good place to surf, but I did know about the Salt Water Taffy because it is a family tradition to get some Salt Water Taffy whenever we visit Bodega Bay. I'm glad that I chose to compare with Samantha because I learned a lot from her post.
