Assignment Fourteen
Video Short ...
- I plan to use fading pictures of the women from this semester of the ministry to share a tiny one line about their personal story (wife, mom, friend, etc.)
- I plan to make sure to use the scripture about where two or more are gathered as the connection of all the purposes of the ministry
- I plan to use the song "Oh How He Loves Us"by the David Crowder Band in order to connect the viewers to the concept of God's love as well as illustrate how much He loves these women
Assignment Thirteen
Well, What is essentially left for me to do is WRITE!
I have been collecting data and doing interviews and observations for the entire semester, so now it is time to get all of that data out of my computer and into the binder and begin organizing it. I have to take the time to plan it out ...
The writing is freaking my out a bit ... I have my thesis because that was the basis of the project, but I do not feel like I have totally formulated how to connect all of the pieces into one 15 page paper. I am working on an outline right now just to make the writing flow!

Assignment Ten
Lives on the Boundary ...
The big ideas I liked ...
I like the big idea that culture is a part of education. I think that is missed in a lot of ways, that the barriers those face that are culturally different deeply impact their educational experience in the United States. Being different is already difficult enough, but when your language, beliefs, and family are also different it can be quite challenging to excel in school. I appreciated the idea that people just need to make an effort to understand one another; I think this goes beyond this book and the education system and is applicable to people in general!
Enjoyable to read?
I thought this was enjoyable to read ... It was a tough subject, but still it was written in a way that drew me in. I was interested in what the author had to say, and I felt like I could see his research and processes throughout the text. It was not, however, an easy or uplifting read! I found myself having to go back over sections to make sure I grasped the context.
