SERVICE LEARNING

For service learning I still Kind of want to go a middle school and teach younger kids. Kids in the 4 or 5th grade. Last year I enjoyed working with the kids but if I was to do it again I hope that it would be more organized. Like Last time we did not even send that much time with the students so I left feeling like I did not teach them anything.

The second thing I might want to do for service learning

NHD REFLECTION

This year NHD did not go so well. I mean I was so stressed out working on things. My group members were Taylor and Ratisha. We worked really well together though. There were not that many disagreements, which was a good thing because there was not extra drama going on. Other then that finding our thesis statement I believe was the hardest part I am we had our conflict and comprise but we did not know how to word out thesis statement out. Another hard part of our NHD project was doing our annotated bib. We had a lot of website sources which did not look good, so we had to go and get some books. At the end of our project I think we pulled it together pretty well. I mean during the judging it was kind of hard. Some of the questions were kind of hard to answer and some of the questions that were asked of us we did not answer. I felt kind of bad about that because we should have known every thing about out topic and been able to answer every question asked of us. Our main topic was based on music during the Harlem Renaissance. The whole project helped me because I did not really know much about the Harlem Renaissance. The conflict was that there were racial issues during that time which kept African Americans from the entertainment life. The compromise was a group of people came together on an av. were they could entertain. I also learned that the Harlem renaissance was also known as the New Negro Movement. During this project I also learned a lot from a lady Ms. Figg who I interviewed. She was one of my group member’s grandmothers and she told me how she believed that the Harlem Renaissance affected her. That was a great interview because I learned a lot from her.
