Unit 3: reddit

I listened to the podcast, "There was An Attempt." This podcast goes into detail about the relationships between the white Americans and the Native Americans. They talk about how the white settlers were continuously insensitive towards the natives. They would have different, and often offensive depictions for them. For example, there was an ad/poster of a Native American where they were red, which is a clear way for white settlers to categorize them into someone else, into a group of people who aren't like them, but rather inferior. We see this multiple times throughout history, where natives were forced out of their villages, forced to go to 'white'' schools where they were taught to repress their native traditions and cultures, their language and more - they were clearly seen as inferior and unwanted by white settlers.

Unit 2: Draft

[INTRO] An interesting fact.. In a recent survey, over seventy percent of students reported that their teachers utilize technology to a significant extent in the classroom.

Unit 2 Reflection

To begin, I didn’t have to think too much about who my audience would be for this piece. This is because my topic, which focuses on the use of digital tools in the classroom, already zooms into a specific age group: students. Now, I could have chosen to focus on younger students, or older students, who potentially were in college or grad school, and I chose older students because I thought I would be able to find more rich content there. Secondly, I thought I could apply this topic to myself and my surroundings, like my friends, people in my class and more, which would make it easier for me to write this research paper and understand it better, which it did. Lastly, I chose this audience because it was the most relatable to me, so it automatically interested me more. So, once I chose this audience, I thought that the best way to reach it was by directly engaging with it face-to-face, hence why I chose to interview people for my pitch. It was definitely more helpful to experience askin...
