Loop Sketch #3

After reading the article about rosa parks, it was very interesting to me, because I never knew she was in her correct seat. I always thought she was sitting at the front of the bus and got asked to moved to the back. The truth is that she was already in the back and just got asked to move because there was not any open seats for the white people getting on the bus. The school did not teach us the right info or just did not want to go into to much detail. They just taught us the shorter version of the story, which I think is it not right because I feel like they are not teaching us the right things of history. Now that I am older I am just now finding out the real truth when I could have learned this a while back.

In the link above it shows a video of two little boys playing soccer in the front yard. In the reading "a brief history about lawns." In the reading it mention how in some cultures it is weird to have a front lawn. In our culture it would feel weird if we did not have a front lawn. Some thought that if you had a lawn it meal you came from money. In the video you can see the two boys just playing soccer as normal in front of their yards. In so many years yards have been so normal that we even have big yards to play national soccer games or even the super bowl. These are big games that people will pay lots of money for to watch people pay a game on a big piece of grass. I am not sure if they do that in all cultures. I know in Mexico some people will play in dirt instead of grass and I am sure that they aren't the only ones that don't always play in grass.

I think us Americans just look at lawns as normal things we see everyday. Special events can take place on lawns like for example the white house holds a big event on their front of the law to meet queen Elizabeth. It is a special event that is held right on the front yard of the White house. Lawns do not always have to let something special take place on it. You can just drive by neighborhoods and see people cutting the grass or just sitting with their dog or gardening, or you might just see a lawn empty, not everyone uses their lawn. It just however you use your lawn determines if you are grateful for having a lawn or not.

During this reading I got a lot out of it. I liked the reading and how the others wanted to help the workers learn english. The other that already knew english did not have to volunteer to help them learn english. It was out of the goodness of their heart. It was sad that the worker were getting taken advantage of because they did not know english. Each time they learned how to say something new they realized they still had to learn more due to the workforce still taking advantage of them. 

In the reading it also mention how he decide to become a teacher and teach the kids critically because he knows they are capable of doing so much more. I love teachers who can see that in students especially the young ones.  He wanted to teach multicultural and wanted to show the students and teacher that doing that helps everyone learn about different cultures. He mention that there is 7 different multicultural and they are all important in their own ways. In my future classroom I want to make sure I have a classroom that is multicultural and that all students can see each one is just as important.
