Reflection:
I think this has been the best and most informative COL assignment yet. It was all fun to do and I learned some things that I didn’t know before. The researching part of this assignment was very interesting and informative since this topic is something I enjoy learning about because it’s a very important topic that should be discussed more. I learned many new things I didn’t know for example, I didn’t know how to use Audacity so, at first I just played around with it a little to understand how to use it and I figured out most of the important things. We also had some trouble connecting the mic to Audacity but after trying many things we figured it out and it was something easy to fix. From this assignment I have learned many new skills for searching for information and websites to find more facts and details about the residential school we chose.
Option 1: Critical Thinking:
I have learned lots about residential schools in the past but I have never researched a specific school and learned so many details about it. I thought they all ran the same but a lot of them are different and some are way worse than others. After learning more about one school, I have realized how much even one of those schools can do and how much it does affect the people who have gone to these schools and how terrible they really were.
