4B Reflection

1. Who is your classmate, what is the component category, what is the name of the choice?
EXAMPLE classmate Liz, component a World Cities, San Francisco...

Classmate Christophe L. Allen, component B beaches, Goat Rock State Beach.

2. What is something similar this classmate said about the choice?
EXAMPLE Liz and I both focused on blank

Christophe and I both focused on the fact that many beaches like that of Goat Rock are not safe or pleasant to swim in. When you think of beaches in California everyone thinks of surfing and swimming. To the contrary, Christophe and I both agree that Goat Rock's wheather and water conditions do not allow for any type of surfing and or swimming.

3. What is something different this classmate said about the choice?
EXAMPLE Liz and I have differing opinions on blank

Christophe and I have differing opinions of the attractions to Goat Rock. For example he states that 0ne of the main attraction to a beach like Goat Rock is its resident seal population. I on the other hand have never gone to Goat Rock to sit and watch the seals, as a matter of fact I think one of its main attractions is the rocky landscape, perfect for hiking and climbing.

4. How would you relate this to Freire's ideas regarding dialogue? For example, you went in thinking one idea, your classmate had a different idea. What new idea emerged from this process?

In my opinion Christophe took more of an insider look at Goat Rock park while I concentrated on the physical and the obvious. When you combine both of our researches of the park you have an outsiders and an insiders perspective. The way we look at a subject reflects our own personal perspective, but if you combine multiple perspective it allows for a more conclusive look at a subject. Freire promoted dialogue and an inter exchange of ideas. By looking at Christophe's project I gained much more in site on ways I can approach a subject for future reference. I learned that looking at the physical is one way of looking at a certain subject, and that putting yourself inside that place, reflects a much deeper analysis.
