-Contains a brief paragraph how it connects to your study of humanities.
The cable car was founded in 1869 by Andrew Smith Hallidie. He tested it out on clay street in San Francisco in 1873. There were so many people that helped to put together the cable car and make it a huge success. By September 1st 1873 it was finished and a great success. All San Francisco companies had put together 53 miles of track all over San Francisco.

-Contains the following "analytical elements":

-Observation: What did you choose? What do you see or hear or feel or think of in the choice you made? What is the subject of the work? If you chose a 'thing' what is the work made of and what techniques (colors, lines, shapes, textures)does the creator use? Be specific in your description. If you chose a place, be specific in your description of what you see or hear. Talk to your reader as though they cannot see the item but somehow must draw a painting of what you see or hear.

I chose The San Francisco Cable Car Museum. I see Cable Cars everywhere from hundreds of years ago and history that goes with each one. I have never been to this museum before but it sounds interesting. When I think of this museum I think of how fun it would be to visit this historical museum. The subject of the work is the cable car.

-Interpretation: What is your choice about? Give specific examples to support this statement in 2 sentences; do so in a way that teaches us something about your choice. Make Paulo Freire proud!

My choice is about cable cars and the history behind them and how they got started. They were developed in the late 1800's. It is amazing because they were founded right in San Francisco on Clay St.

Judgment: What led you to your choice? What do you think or feel about this choice? Why do you feel this way? Support your thoughts with specific observations

I thought a museum about cable cars was the most interesting choice because they started a long time ago in the 1800's. They seem interesting to learn about because it is a car that is ran by cables all through the city.

Questioning: What else would you like to know about this choice? When completing the question section, lead your audience into the question by stating a fact you do know, yet you still have the related question. This way, both your audience and you will have an educational experience. Example: I learned that John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath was based on his personal experience working with farm workers. I would like to know if the characters he used in that book are fictitious or are they people he met?

I would like to know how a cable car only runs on just a cable. I have learned that cable cars were created in San Francisco by one single man. I would like to know how these people or person put it together so it would go on a cable.

Using your classmates work from last week, tell us one thing you learned from 1 student. Is this one thing some common experience you share or some experience that is completely different than what you experienced? Is this one thing related to our class theoretical foundation and if so, how? Is that one thing related to historical or cultural context of this country or a different one? Link that persons blog to this entry (eg cut paste that blog entry here) .

The person I picked is Lori because i noticed we both picked San Francisco for last weeks homework. I was not born there like she was but I used to go there every weekend because I had friends there so in a way thats something we both have in common.
