Today we talked about mental maps. Mental maps vary form person to person do to the different experiences different people have. When a person goes to a different country, continent, state, or city they get a different map in their head. When a person has never gone to a country for example the mental map is blurred and their perspective is most of the time wrong. When a person goes to a country they have never been to their mental map becomes fuller and the perspective becomes their perspective not someone else's perspective from the internet. Also a mental map does not have to be limited to a specific place it can also include routes to and from different places. So going from your house to school to maybe your friends house is also part of your mental map. If you have been all over Maryland then your mental map in Maryland will be clear and your map of somewhere you have never been to won't be as clear.
In class today we talked about a message to Garcia, excellence, and socrates again. Mr shick talked us about what we had learned yesterday. we were able to talk about the main idea however the details were hard to remember or no one wanted to say anything. Mr shick also talked about his teaching style which related to socrates witch was easy to relate to. The style is easy to pick up on as. it is unique their is no right or wrong there is just discussion. We then talked about something other than the lesson and the topic was illegal immigration. The topic of illegal immigration is a very difficult subject to the many factors. The class had many different viewpoints wich was expected. we all had different views and we all talked about why we had those views. I. think this is what mr stick. wanted to. teach us why we are going to learn. like this year.
