May 1, ending the course

 Prompt: There have been many topics discussed in the class like racisms, stereotypes, social justice, and identity . Throughout the whole course the main one that stood out to me was our most recent topic, stereotypes. This lesson is meaningful to me because it made me realize I dont know much about stereotypes and how Ive never really realized how its in so many films. It can also effect many peoples lives and I noticed a little bit with mine as well. Its a very serious topic and I like that I got to understand and learn more about it  Today in class we watched a documentary  I learned that education is super important to many people and how people get to school just for the education. It made me value school even more and to be grateful 

April 30, importance of education

 Prompt: In my life, education is one of the most important thing there is. From soon after graduating, I will still be continuing my education and learning even more. I dont think some students value education the same as I do. I see many still failing and not caring about their grades. Even if they get told they might not graduate, they dont care and continue to ignore their work. Although I think some students around the world value education even more than I do, some travel hours and through rough conditions to get to school everyday, pushing through it all. 

April 29, most interesting cultural presentation

 Prompt: The cultural groups presentation that I found most interesting was the eastern white people. I found this group the most interesting because I never knew about a couple of things. The examples and films they used were interesting and I thought they were shown well. This presentation deepened my understanding of them by knowing how they get their stereotypes. I learned a lot more through the presentation and their movie film examples.  Today in class we presented our projects to the class  I learned more stereotypes and the danger of them as well. 

April 27, a factor that plays a great role in shaping my future career choice

 Prompt: A factor that plays a great role in shaping my career choice would be the stability it can provide me. Another factor would be my genuine passion and interest for it, however I would need to choose a career that helps me live and I dont have to struggle so much. I would find passion in the career I chose and see where it takes me. Choosing stability may impact my long term happiness, just because the career might not be something I entirely enjoy.  Today in class we presented  Today I learned that choosing a career is very important and is something you should not just guess or randomly choose. 

April 24, most exciting thing about graduating

 Prompt: The most exciting thing about graduating that I am looking forward to would be not having to do any more school work for a whilenand just leaving high school. After all the years Im glad to be leaving. Another that I find exciting would be having a lot more free time and just the stress of school work being taken away for a bit, and having a new different environment. I would also be very excited to travel now that I will be having more free time either with friends or family. This all matters to me because its things I enjoy doing and have always thought about  Today in class we watch a video and answer some questions  Today I learned that its important to choose the right path you enjoy. It would help reach the goals you want to achieve and start really planning your life. 

April 23, clothing identifying with culture and identity

 Prompt: A style that I enjoy would be the alternative/ all dark clothing. I really enjoy seeing others wear that style and express themselves with it but I know others would be confused if I wore it. I used to dress like that and others didnt respond bad but now if I were to wear it , I would either get made fun of or lots of looks of confusion, others may support and tell me they like it.  Today in class we watched a film and continued on our project  Today I learned that clothing can hold identity and also the way someone expresses themselves. You can sometimes tell how people express themselves by the way they dress 

April 21, film representing culture

 Prompt: A film that represents my culture in a positive and meaningful way would be Dora and the Lost City of Gold. The film centers on Peruvian culture, the Inca civilization, and Quechua language which all shows the beauty and the importance. The film also respects Incan heritage which in other movies its normally treated as nothing. The movie also shows the beauty of Peru in different screen drops and little scenes. It also shows authentic cultural representation like the Incan myth of Parapata.  Today in class we worked on our project  I learned that stereotypes are everywhere but people can change them and show the beauty
