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 connects to our study of humanities by exploring areas and learning about areas that we may not know about already. I am from California and it is always interesting to me learn new things about my state. Even though I have lived here all of my life, I find I am learning about new places and new facts every week with our projects.

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
People often think of the Riverside area to be a "party" area because it is has a university and is very close to several other universities. Sacramento shares similar stereotypes in regards to being a "party" town due to the university. Sacramento is also suggested to be cheap.

b.List 3 things that make each location similar: 1 point
1.Both cities have universities in their city, and others in the surrounding area.
2.These cities have very similar climate in the late spring and summer.
3.In each city @ 15% of family's incomes are below the poverty line.

c.List 3 things that make each location so different: 1 point.
1.The cities are on opposite ends of the state with Sacramento being in the northern inland region and Riverside being in the southern region of the state.
2.Sacramento has an NBA team, the Sacramento Kings, and Riverside does not have any NBA teams.
3.Sacramento is the capital of California.

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
Each city is well known for their universities, what population of each city are college students?

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
I have been to both beaches that Frank compared in his California Beach component of project 3. I learned from him that Half Moon Bay's beach has greater marine life than the Santa Monica beach.
