3.Contains an explanation regarding how this component (any aspect of it; eg content of videos, content of websites) connects to your study of humanities. .25 point
This component of project 3 has taught me about other areas of California that I wouldn't otherwise make a point of researching. I now know more about California beaches, how they are similar and different regardless of where they lie geographically.
4.Contains the following elements that will be used in upcoming projects for analytical purposes:
a.What are some assumptions/stereotypes you think people have of each location: 1 point
Some assumptions people may have about Huntington Beach is that everyone looks like a movie star because it is so close to LA and is in Orange County Ca. Orange County is always glamorized. Ocean Beach is categorized as a non-sunny beach because it is in San Francisco, but there are actually some "beach" days there also!
b.List 3 things that make each location similar: 1 point
1. Both beaches are on the CA coastline.
2. Surfers are drawn to each beach for their unique surfing conditions.
3. Each beach has their own surf shops.
c.List 3 things that make each location so different: 1 point
1. While both beaches are located along the coast of CA, the climates are very different. Huntington Beach has the typical southern California beach weather and Ocean Beach has a climate of a northern California beach, being much cooler and foggier.
2. Huntington Beach is a state beach. Ocean Beach SF is not categorized as a state beach.
3. Ocean Beach is just a name of the coastline that lies along the coast of San Francisco. Huntington Beach is actually a city as well where there are approximately 194,436 residents.
d.Questioning: What else would you like to know about these places? When completing the question section, lead your audience into the question by stating a fact you do know, yet you still have the related question. This way, both your audience and you will have an educational experience. .5 point
Huntington Beach sits on a salt dome that contains oil. I know that there are two spots where oil extraction continues, I want to know if there have ever been any oil spills on Huntington Beach?
5. Using your classmates work from last week, tell us one thing you learned from 1 student. Is this one thing some common experience you share or some experience that is completely different than what you experienced? Is this one thing related to our class theoretical foundation and if so, how? Is that one thing related to historical or cultural context of this country or a different one? Link that persons blog to this entry (eg cut paste that blog entry here) . .5 point
From Thida's work last week on project 3a I learned that she used to live in southern California. I have always lived in the Bay Area. I am hoping to move to the southern parts of California.
