If you would like to earn extra credit for the Crash assignment, carefully follow the directions of the handout I gave you and post your extra credit comments here. Sandra
AWESOME examples of critical thinking here, you guys! Remember, the extra credit portion of the assignment goes here and the movie report itself comes to me in class as part of your presentation. Keep asking questions!!! Smiles--S
Thanks for extending the deadline Sandra - I think I have too much units and though I have seen this blog last week, I just couldn’t find time to type my response. Michelle and I were to go to SacState Union for the CRASH project at the same time. We got each other’s phones Wednesday Feb 8, the week before Feb 13. We talked where the best place I could pick her up close to her home. I don’t mind at all as I work for Kaiser SouthSac and I would definitely be passing that way, Power Inn to SacState. The day came and I have printed a map and I could see the union – close to the nursing department where I have been to a few times. I called Michelle and left her a message that I could pick her up at 645 pm and we would have enough time to be there by 730 pm. I talked to her the second time I called her up and she said she has a car and didn’t need a ride. I said that’s fine and I’ll just see her there. I went to the Union alone and I didn’t see anyone in class except when someone asked if the CRASH writer takes resumes of aspiring actors (I think his name is JR?). I recognized him (-: I tried desperately to look for others in the class and I especially looked for Sandra – just to make sure she knows I was there. Hah! Was I mindful of the surroundings and class? Communication breakdown? When there’s too many people around or too much noise or you’re in a big place like the Union, and everyone else looks like a student wanting to get credit for being there, some communication gets lost somewhere, somehow. I thought I was mindful of things but I just didn’t see anyone – from the class. It can happen to the best of us. The happy part is that I enjoyed seeing a celebrity and I learned a lot from him. I dreamt of being a writer once that’s why I wanted to be there – and I liked his exposure to multiracial New York. That made him a much richer writer in terms of experience.
Thank you for give us an opportunity to gain this extra credit.
For doing this project, although all of we three had watched Crash before, however, Chi-Hsuan and I decided to watch that again at 5:00pm on that day. Then, as Thuy has said, we made a point of doing this project and meet/discuss the movie first at CSUS at 7:30pm. We not only got some brief idea, but also decided a basic schedule of partial work deadlines. The only fly in the ointment was the other three members could not come and discuss with us though Thuy had encouraged everyone to come. As a result of that, few days later, Thuy sent an e-mail to everyone compressed some idea we found on that day and reminded us to finish our part in time. After then, Chi-Hsuan and I also kept in touch with Thuy and shared more idea about the movies and what questions we have to ask. I found that virtual meeting is truely a good way for discussion. It did help me a lot about finishing this project. The only regret for Chi-Hsuan and I is the rest of our group member, especially Thuy, dropped the class in the end.

I really hope they can come back.
