Chicano Studies

There is a magazine company that caters to adult men called Gallismo. The magazine goes out to over 5 million men between the ages of 18 and 40 in the United States. In the magazine, there is an article paid for by a wealthy person, Sadam Jose, who supports the take over of the Southwest part of the United States. The article reads, “don’t support the false propaganda by the American Government, they stole the land from Mexico, we should get it back by any means necessary.” "Let’s begin the movement before it is too late. Join the movement.” “We will one day be the majority”. Sadam Jose is arrested by the FBI for violating a federal law because he was trying to start a revolution. Did the US violate

Mexican American empowerment was the goal of The Chicano Movement of the 1960s, it was a civil rights movement extending the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. During this movement there were three goals that were achieved, which was land was restored, education reforms were gained and the rights for farm workers. . Latinos lacked influence in the national political arena prior to the 1960’s but that changed when the Mexican American Political Association (MAPA) were diligent in working to get John F. Kennedy elected president in 1960, which in turn established Latinos as a significant voting bloc. Once in office Kennedy had shown his gratitude towards the Latino community by addressing their concerns of the Hispanic community

The Chicano community has endured and overcome many struggles since the conquest by conquistador in 1491 and eviction from Atzlan. Race was used by the white community as tool to structure inequality for the Chicano community by classifying the Chicano community as white but treat them as a minority community. Chicano activist during the Mexican American generation found community self-determination by becoming actively involved in their community and taking hold of their own destiny. The Mexican American activists created a new way of seeing themselves by taking the term Chicano and making the term a symbol for who they truly are and who they want to become. The new ethos of the new identity of a Chicano is community

Looking back over the semester and pondering all that I’ve learned is a bit of a shock. Included in my portfolio are two papers that I have revised and added to. The revision process is not an easy one for me to complete. A perfectionist with time limitations, is not an easy balance for me to maintain, so while my papers are never perfect, I do try to be thorough when completing an assignment. The variety of topics covered in this class are vast and have added an innumerable amount of success to my writing skills that cross over into daily life as well as my other classes. Friendships that I didn’t have prior to this class are an added bonus that I was not counting on.

I learned that if I put a little more effort than I usually do then I could see a huge increase in performance and my grades. I learned that if I really pay attention to the directions that were given to me when they are given, it is a much easier time in the class. Also if I do not understand something, just asking someone next to me or the teacher or even a teacher's aid really helps so I fully understand the instructions

I learned so much about myself and became more confident in who I am. I learned that I am not good at accounting or finance and that you will probably never see me walking down Wall Street. This semester I learned that I have a new passion for health and wellness. I love learning about nutrition and how to fuel your body properly. My business classes taught me how to get out of my comfort zone and be able to present in front of a large number of people. I learned so much about myself that I would not have learned if I did not come to a liberal arts

I learned more about the level of learners that I have in my class. My mentor teacher told me some names of high and low level learners, but observing them being taught and teaching them are two very different realities. I also learned that even my high level learners were struggling second grade counting skills (ex: ten more, ten less). This lesson also re-emphasized the importance of modeling learning for students (I do, we do, they do).

This semester I feel I have grown more as an academic student and as a global citizen. I feel that our Job shadow project helped me be a better Academic student, and that the Malala field trip my school went to helped me become a Global Citizen.These two things have helped me become a better student in their own ways.

In addition. I was also able to improve my skills and gain more experience working with young people. I was able to build confidence within myself and the find the reason why I wanted to be a teacher. I have a tremendous desire to help children and to always encourage them to reach their full potential. What I learned about teaching others that I did not know before is how I should make the objective simple and in a student friendly language rather than, a complicated way. For example, when students were learning about WWI, I briefly had to explain to them who was involved and why it happened. I had to allow the students to understand what I was saying before they were going to take their unit test the following day. It took time for me to help understands understand because I had repeat myself numerous times. However, connecting with them and modifying some of the lessons and activities eventually brought all of us closer together to have a good time together and to share ideas. I was basically learning, too, because I knew the basics of U.S history but I didn’t really know specifically some of the

After reviewing my data, I found that there was a modest increase in student achievement. There was a 6% increase in student scores from the pretest to the first quiz of the section. Although it is technology incomplete data because we have not finished the chapter, I feel that this is a good start. I believe this came from two areas. The first is that students were doing more hands on work which, in economics, is important for students to have a good understanding of the material and theories. The second reason is that I put in more time to better understand and teach these economic theories. Obviously, if I am better able to communicate the material to my students, they will have an easier time understanding it. Comparing last years SLO

On November 1, 2017, today event is about Alexis Mundo Queer Networks in Chicano LA: A Talk by Ondine Chavoya and David Frantz. The Alexis Mundo Queer Networks is a cross cultural/events. The presentation had pictures, art, information about queer art/culture from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. During the time period of 1960s to the early 1990s the topics being discussed Chicano Moratorium is about gay liberation and HIV Aids to find it interesting.

These days I can look at what I have done and acknowledge the things I did well and the things I could improve upon. This skill of self-reflection has greatly helped my learning this semester and will help me in being an attorney. When I give an argument, like the motion to dismiss, or I do a client interview I can now look at the experience and see not only where I need to improve but also what I did improve on and what I should do

This semester, I have grown as a student by taking action to benefit the life of other people. I have gained a better understanding of issues that many people face and how to get involved. My American literature class allowed me to grow through my “Perks of Being A Wallflower” essay and my civil rights project. The essay and the civil rights project allowed me to take action,learn a new perspective, and Improve on my reading analysis skill.

Throughout the semester in this WRT 106 class we were assigned different assignments, each with a different purpose but all having to do with one main topic. The topic I decided to focus on this semester was police brutality. It is safe to say I have really enhanced my knowledge on this topic. Each project provided more and more knowledge to myself on this topic because of all the research associated with the assignment. The assignments throughout the semester were challenging, interesting, and had a process behind them that involved a lot of revision and feedback from many of my peers, but in the end of it all there were many learning outcomes as well. Looking back on this class, I have realized just how much my writing has improved since the beginning of the semester and that first assignment.

This semester in Child Development has helped me a great deal. I came into this class wanting to be a Child Development teacher at the high school level. I am leaving this class with the same ambition to become a Child Development teacher. I have learned so much by taking this class and I know it will all be helpful in the future once I am standing at the front of a classroom. Also, just by watching the way Mary teaches the class, I have learned things that I want to take into my own style of teaching.
