Christensen Chapter 6

This chapter was boring, I felt that Christensen was just going through the steps of a typical research project, but with a different kind of twist. I must admit that the idea of learning about immigration, the student, or even your ancestry in very interesting, but I felt that Christensen really did not make it that exciting for me.

One thing that I could say is I really do want to do some research on my roots. I really don't know much about my family, who we are and where we have come from and that kind of hurts me to say. I could see myself doing this project for like a personal research, but modifying it for the classroom, making steps easier and try to engage everyone, without feeling this information will be useless when it is all said and done with. This chapter made me think about my family and it really made me think about Black History Month. I'm ashamed to say that I know the basics of how my culture came to be, but I don't know my history like I should. I know that Christensen said that she also did this project for her personal reasons, but I did not feel she was actually looking for research for herself, you know doing the project with the students. I know if I ever did something like this not only will I try to do what I mentioned before, but I would want my students to know that I'm interested in my history, so I would probably do the research with them.
