Because this is a new quarter, we have to read another book, analyze the reading, and present the text to the class. Elizabeth, Jacky, and Rhiannon did an excellent job of explaining each reading and giving an in-depth analysis of different passages. I enjoy reading this book as well because of its unique perspective from someone who perhaps actually experiences or has heard the story from his or her relative. Each passage was fascinating, and it demonstrates that how people could be affected differently depending on their age and the period that they were born. Everyone has different experiences that they could share. In addition, I totally agree that some of the events that happen during an early stage of people’s lives help people prepare for the worse in the future.
As for our HAP, we did make some progress. Because many of us did not have the chance to see the project that Nina did, we went down to Chula Vista and saw the sensory garden over the weekend. We also got a chance to walk around the St.Paul’s Plaza, and this place is very organized and neat. Each resident has his or her own space. I felt that many assisted living facilities are very similar, and all these facilities try to create a friendly community for elders to stay. It was really nice; helping and learning from Nina’s project could definitely shape up our idea and give us a better understanding of where we want to go.
In addition to HAP, we also have another new project that allows us to clarify some misconceptions about ageism through videos, infographics, or other creative ideas. This project sounds very exciting to me because we can decide which methods that we can use that would be most useful to reach our audience.
