I found this course beneficial; I learned to analysis
information presented to me better and fully develop my reflection of it. This
was my first blog and I am proud of the posts I did. I think the blog was a
good idea and should be used in future classes. The blog serves as a nice personal
accomplishment to look back at.

Thinking back over the topics
discussed in this class I found that they were significant to my life. The education
topic had me thinking of the education I received through my life and the
future direction of education that will directly affect my child. This
encouraged me to question what is going on in my son’s public elementary school
and ensure he is offered opportunities for advancement throughout his education.
Learning about Sapelo Island broadened
my knowledge of the issues that are occurring in our country. I would have
never known about the Geechee community and their struggle for land rights. These
people reminded me to think about where I come from and my family’s roots. I wish
I could name one location that my people originated from, like Sapelo Island
defines the Geechee people.
The documentary Miss Representation offered a very
relatable topic. That film forced me to question how I judge other women, and
why I do it? My research got me thinking of limiting my son’s exposure to the
media because of the gender stereotypes that are repeatedly presented. I learned
that I have the power to guide how he is influenced and it my job to teach him
women are equal to men.
I definitely do think all the topics were appropriate
and relatable, the films and the book were good material that should be used
again in future classes. I enjoyed the class as a whole and the discussions that were initiated from
the subjects. Everyone shared their opinions openly and I felt comfortable with our group. Good luck to all and thanks for making this an interesting writing 101 class!
