Reading 2 Looping Sketchbook

      The readings for this week were interesting in the way that it made me think way back of the things I was being taught about history. Even though I may not remember many things, I do consider that some things may have not been said. As one of the readings mention, "If we act wisely, we can change that world, and create a much better one." (Harari, Y. N. (2015). Homo deus: A brief history of tomorrow. London: Vintage Digital.) Considering that there might be things that we are interested and that we like, we need to consider what the students also need to know. It's not just about what we like, but how it actually is. In this article, I was able to learn about the history of lawns, which is something that was never taught to me and I really didn't think about a purpose of lawns. To me is just in front of a house where plants are planted to make it look nice. I never thought it would represent power a long time ago. It's interesting to learn this kinds of things, and because it's something new to me, it seems that it wasn't consider important for children to know about it. We shouldn't let the future children be thoughtful of the past.
