This week, we did more upon heroes and we watched a few videos about stopping racism and discrimination that were cleverly presented like a Sims game, this brought new light to me about how how severe the problem is in the world and if we don't stop it soon enough, the problem will become overwhelming.
Also we did a web hunt on the My Hero website, which frankly speaking wasn't a good activity. I didn't really learn much from the activity, I would suggest maybe a better way to teach other people about the My Hero website. Also, we discussed about who we would write as a hero and very surprising most of the people in my class didn't have a hero, including me, I suppose not many people have inspired me in my life, after some consideration, I decided to write on either Amelia Earhart, Scott Joplin or Steven Spielberg, I'm quiet eager to do Scott Joplin as he is one of my favorite pianist, but i'm having some trouble to find some hero qualities in him.
So I am currently trying to find some resources on Scott Joplin , but I'm having a bit of trouble. My question is, becoming the King Of Ragtime as a black pianist while all the other famous pianist are white men in any form a hero's quality maybe with a bit of thought and consideration, I'll find out
Why not look at examples of other musicians on the My Hero website so you can see why others chose them as heroes?
ReplyDelete" I would suggest maybe a better way to teach other people about the My Hero website" - what do you suggest?
