ReplyDeleteThey were explained in more detail in class, but here is a summary.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2 refers to the types of barriers that were in the way or were overcome for the particular people in your examples. They would include things related to opportunity or rights or treatment, etc. For some, their grandparent did not have the resources, or another, there might be strong expectations to stay at home, etc.
Question 3 refers to how all of us in our class have benefited from the efforts of those that came before us. We are attending college-- something that others were denied or sacrificed greatly to obtain. What will we do with our chance?
Is this replacing the quiz? cause I didn't see a quiz on blackboard, yet there is one listed for friday on the syllabus.
ReplyDeleteYes it is replacing the quiz
ReplyDeleteThanks Jahnna- That is right.
ReplyDeleteAside- I did not notice till now that the clouds in the image represent the continents.
Professor Welser - I placed my assignment in an envelope on your office door because I was leaving town (on a University excused absence), but have not received credit for it. Because I did not hand it in during class - will I not get credit?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed doing this assignment, I have never really thought about how much my grandparents sacrificed for their children. They both didnt go to college yet they had 8 kids and every single one of them attended college.
