Mosaic II / RTTP
Overall, I enjoyed the RTTP game experience in mosaic 2 class. I enjoyed the open discussion aspect of it. The uncertainty of how the votes are going to go in the beginning further adds to the fun. Although it’s more anticipated that the Suffrage wins, the final outcome were not always fixed every time the game is played. Each and everyone’s argument/speech no matter how small or big contributes to shaping the way of votes goes. It’s amusing to see how some classmates chose to play their character aggressively and some passively. As a result, I became to know my classmates a little better. Traditional learning method such as PowerPoint is less interactive compared to RTTP. Through RTTP, we learn history by taking roles and expressing our ideas persuasively, thus we may remember the material we learned for a longer period of time. It’s a bit unfortunate that we didn’t have an extended amount of time to play this game. The book can be difficult at times for someone with English as second language like me. However, what I like about the book is that it enabled me to learn interesting things about the root of American culture. Women movement in US history is a very unique and such a foreign idea to a

However, the instructor willingness to elaborate and show additional movie, plays a big part in helping me understanding the materials. RTTP game is different than the conventional method of just giving a bunch of facts. In Reacting games, we can deviate from the actual events and outcomes of the past. This experience further strengthens my persuasion skills by making plans for the unexpected, which is a valuable skill for a student like me to have. As an indeterminate, I learned by watching the suffrage and labor group closely that to be persuasive we need to understand the position of those we wish to persuade and study their
In conclusion, I thought it was a very well written book and I enjoyed reading it. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. The book is very helpful in giving a relatable version of life during this time. Although you don't need to be obsessed with this topic, the book would be more enjoyable for people who are interested in the Revolutionary
This book was certainly one of the more difficult books I have ever read in any scenario ever. To expand upon, it was mostly due to the fact that I, at the time, was completely unfamiliar with the subject of politics. Thus leading into my first point, I did enjoy this book because I was able to learn new aspects of our world. Even more so, I was able to apply them to the real world in this upcoming presidential election. Of course with the good comes the bad, I was simply overwhelmed with information that the book did come off as confusing at many parts. Not to mention the excessive amounts of examples in history that each theme has occurred, did anger me a little bit.
I am personally not into history books very much and this book reinforced that fact. I am though interested in history though, and that was what kept me going with Slave Country. Even though the read was slow and at times hard, the information that was being told was that of a newly formed nation and the beliefs of freedom were at that particular time. It is interesting to learn all of the facts, which this book so prevalently has, but it was more rewarding to have a knew found idea of how hard of a struggle it was to gain freedom for slaves and to form a nation that has evolved in to what it is today. If I happened to come across someone interested in the field of history I would definitely recommend this book because it is an eye opener, but the the average person most likely
The book to me was interesting. The author use make history sounds more exciting than the
Literature Circle ___________________________________________________________________________ Facilitator; How do you think Louie Zamparin’s childhood has affected his motive to survive throughout the story? Samantha Ochoa’s Answer: I believe that Louie Zamparini’s childhood has affected his motive to survive the concentration camp tremendously. Since the beginning of the book where Louie was constantly bullied, he was able to take it and not complain.
Think of our society today and the role that women play in it. Women impact people’s lives every single day. In The Things They Carried, there were a couple of women that were brought up in the book, and it showed the enormous effect that the women’s presence had on the men during the war. Mary Anne and Linda were two girls who played huge roles, yet were not even the main characters. Their roles consisted mainly of altering the soldier's personalities and perspectives life during this time. The women brought about the idea of love, humanity, and strength. All of these ideas were put into major effect in the book in many ways.
Instead of trying to do an analysis on the last few chapters of the book, I decided to narrow in on Chapter 18, "Barrette Manifesto." Although this is the shortest chapter I have ever seen in a book of this size, it was one that not only caught my attention, but made me question her arguments and beliefs about the topics of sexism and femininity.
The students will be engaging in student to student discussion and student to teacher discussion allowing students to build off of each other’s knowledge to acquire deeper understanding. Throughout the lesson the students will be participating in TPS. The students will also be collaborating during different parts of the lesson. Vgotsky believed that knowledge was gained by students and teachers working together, rather than being lectured on what specific knowledge they need to gain to master comprehension.
It also teaches about how women during this period were used to the men doing all the work while they stayed home and were educated on things like painting and learning how to play piano, like Ada, but when it came to taking care of the farms they did not know how to do it properly. It also shows that because of this reason, once men went into the fighting, women went into a difficult time in which they had to learn how to survive by
I, as a reader, liked this book for the factual data and research Lord had to do to wrap this book in a short 200 pages. If one is not into reading history, they will still enjoy this because it shows that even when we are corrupted with hate and discrimination, events like this bring Americans together through this one event. This book proves that history is not all that
It is enlightening and insightful. It also gives the reader a new point of view as the slaves in the story traveled further south, instead of north to achieve their freedom. It is unknown to many that a place called Fort Mose just two miles north of St. Augustine, Florida, was owned by the Spanish King where slavery wasn’t allowed. Many runaway slaves from the Carolinas’ travelled south to Florida to be free. It is uncommon to hear of slaves running away further into the south and it is another reason why this novel is so amazing. It engulfs the reader into the lives of the slaves and the indentured servants and allows them to feel their struggles and pain. The way the author depicts the stamina, patience, perseverance, and courage of the slaves is admirable and gives the reader hope and reassurance of humanity
I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested
While reading this book I found myself making notes on how I disagree with certain topics but I didn’t realize until I was about half way through that there were many good points made. Some of the good points I did notice can be found in every chapter
During that day and age, it was not common for a woman to write or publish books. For this reason, and many others that involved the particular context of the book, and the storyline, this book was very controversial. Many people said it advocated women's rights, and pushed for their independence as writers and as workers in other fields besides teaching. Others believe that this
Within this research, Leaning (2015) explores the effectiveness of game techniques to teach media theory to undergraduate students. The author provides background of the content being taught within the classroom and how it is often difficult for students to understand. Therefore the use of gaming techniques is used to improve students’ performance. Within the research project, the experimental group showed an increase on the summative assessment mean scores. Compared to the control group, an almost 2% increase. They
