Contains an explanation regarding how this component (any aspect of it; eg content of videos, content of websites) connects to your study of humanities. .25 point
Big River beach and mission beach both connect to my study of humanities because both have such different atmosopheres, weather and waves. Mission beach is a busy, sunny, tourist paradise, while Big River beach is mostly local, friendly, surfing or dog walking people. The atmosphere is much less chaotic, and the life on the beach is beautiful. You can meet anyone from a local artist to a restaurant owner to a homeless man enjoying the scene.
Contains the following elements that will be used in upcoming projects for analytical purposes:
What are some assumptions/stereotypes you think people have of each location: 1 point
I think people judge mission beach as being a busy, shopping friendly area. When i think of mission beach i think of volleyball, sun, and beautiful girls. Little River beach i think of dedicated surfers, roasting smors on an open fire, and enjoying the beautiful scenery that mendocino has to offer.
List 3 things that make each location similar: 1 point
Both mission beach and Little River beach share the surfing attitude, and a love for the waves.
Both share great dining within a mile of the beach itself, with a variety to choose from.
Both have volley ball set up on their beaches, in Little River it is just a little less frequent.
List 3 things that make each location so different: 1 point
Little river is more of a local attraction, no real tourists come to mendocino for the beach.
Little river attracts many skimboarders instead of surfers because of the cold weather.
On mission beach you can not start fires, bring your dog, or have food on the beaches, in Little River, your dog can come, you can start fires, and you can roast and whatever you like, as long as you clean it up.
Questioning: What else would you like to know about these places? When completing the question section, lead your audience into the question by stating a fact you do know, yet you still have the related question. This way, both your audience and you will have an educational experience. .5 point
I know for a fact that you can not bring your dog onto mission beach, but why is this? Is it because too many people did not pick up after their dog? I would really like to know.
5. Using your classmates work from last week, tell us one thing you learned from 1 student. Is this one thing some common experience you share or some experience that is completely different than what you experienced? Is this one thing related to our class theoretical foundation and if so, how? Is that one thing related to historical or cultural context of this country or a different one? Link that persons blog to this entry (eg cut paste that blog entry here) . .5 point
I looked at Debbie Lee's profile and found her work on Silicon valley. I found out alot that i did not know about california. Mostly when i think of world leaders in technology or most expensive living, i think of Lost Angeles or San Francisco, but after reading about Silicon valley and sunnyvale and palo alto, i learned alot that i did now know before. Silicon valley and Palo Alto being some of the wealthies and snobby places to live. They think they are the smartest there because of stanford, and residents have to have a high income in order to survive there.
