What I've Learned in Mr. Fielders Class This Semester

     The thing I learned most is learning the background and history of the Rwandan Genocide. From watching Hotel Rwanda to Writing the Paul R. letters it covered the whole topic from left right. Without going over the Genocide I probably would never have known about it. I learned that people were killed by their neighbors or friend because small differences. Also that people were brain washed by the interahamway people through a radio station. During the debate, any small holes or questions I had were answered by my fellow classmates.
     I also learned a lot about the Australian aborigines. How they were set aside and pushed off their land so the British could dump their convicts there. How their children were taken, to go to British schools so they would leave their thoughts and culture behind. How the British were attempting to breed the aborigines out of existence, to abolish the whole culture as the British schools were also for. The Rabbit Proof Fence movie was very powerful looking at it in a way other than knowing absolutely nothing about the topic, And recently learning that the aborigines were hunted as if they were rabbits was an amazement to me. Also reading walkabout didn’t do much for me considering the last three or four chapters were way off topic to the rest of the book.
     I have learned much doing the article responses every so often that I now know what is expected from Mr. Fielder every week, and in the beginning of the year when he knew that we weren’t ready for two paragraphs he was right. From learning how to develop a paragraph the whole first card marking, I now know how to develop the first paragraph and base the second paragraph as support for the first one.
    I also learned to use the correct apostrophes and capitalization when writing papers. At first I was not so good at placing the correct apostrophes where they should go, but after a few lectures about the Jones’s I don’t think I will forgetting how to place apostrophes, and use the correct capitalization skills.
     I believe that I also achieved the goal of being in global ed. in this semester. I have learned that not all the different cultures we have learned about are not all the same, and that what we might think is weird or a lot different then what we are use to isn’t always different to other countries or cultures it’s a normal or regular thing to them.
