4c REFLECTION

Choose any 1 classmate of project 3 that wrote about your same topic in any one component (a World Cities, b Beaches, c Inland Areas) and briefly compare/contrast their choices using the following format in a blog post. Make sure this choice is a different category or component than what you chose in 4b:
1. Who is your classmate, what is the component category, what is the name of the choice?
EXAMPLE classmate Liz, component a World Cities, San Francisco...
Anthony Frye, component c Inland Areas, Sacramento & Fresno, mine were Napa and Palm Springs
2. What is something similar this classmate said about the choice?
EXAMPLE Liz and I both focussed on blank
We both compared the two cities from Northern California v. Southern California
3. What is something different this classmate said about the choice?
EXAMPLE Liz and I have differing opinions on blank
His Southern California choice was the agricultural city and my agricultural city was in Northern California. He mentions statistics, while I mention tourist attractions.
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?EXAMPLE choice:World Cities component, student a, student b.
My new idea that emerged from this process is to look more at numbers of a city rather than what they have to offer when you visit.

4b REFLECTION ASSIGNMENT OF My California

1. Choose any 1 classmate that wrote about your same essays and briefly compare/contrast their choices and ideas versus what you said (eg "In my readings of these same authors I found that BLANK and my classmate also thought BLANK. An interesting point of view I didn't think of that my classmate said is BLANK")
In my readings of these same authors I found that the Iranians way of life is much different from the 'typical' American family, things that we take for granted such as Taco Bell and pools they really appreciate. My classmate also had the same idea. An interesting point of view I didn't think of that my classmate said is " the pools keys would explain a result of freedom in the city of Newport Beach".
2. Choose any 1 classmate that wrote about a different set of essays and tell us one thing you learned per author presented.
Mark Arax is from Fresno,California
Aimee Liu mentions, many fail to take into any type of recognition the “transients” that occupy the city, and this oversight culminates into a division of fear and desire.
T. Jefferson Parker succeed in catching rainbow trout – of sizes from six to ten inches
Mackey is a teacher in Sacramento, California
3. Like number 2, choose any 1 classmate that wrote about a set of essays that you didn't read.
