BREAK FREE 2.0
Break free is a project that we were able to do a second round on it because stereotypes are still happen and always will until someone makes a differences and this is why we were taught about this.
Stereotype Activity :
Before we started this project our teacher had us write stereotypes about what we have heard about the race that were on posters(Mexican,Asian,Black and white). As the silents being and walked around we saw how much hate were giving towards people. The part that helped us realized more is when our time was over and the teacher read most of the wording on the posters out loud. We wanted to make this moment for other people too so we displayed posters so people were able to write some words down also. You can find more images and about it on my exhibition section.

"That" Card :
"That" card was made from indexes cards and we were assigned to write about a time where we were affected by someone or saw something happen. I decide to write about a time that happen to me . It was pretty hard to know what to write about it at first but it turn out okay. As you can see both images on your right , show my "that" cared . On one said we drew a picture that connects with our story and on the other side we past our story.
Group Video:

My group and I decide to make a video about gender roles. We choices this topic because it is still a thing and we want it to change. We had them play a game and all they had to do is sort the type of jobs they thing goes into the mens or women's jobs. I will be showing a document about all the work we did before we started the video process. As part of the project we were ask to have an expert in our video.

Going through two students feedback and teachers we then finished and after our proposal was finish we had to make a Presentation of our topic to show our class what our idea of our video was and it was also a great way to get our classmates to give us feedback on our video . Below my Presentation will be attached
Since we had gotten a lot of feedback on our video we finally had the change to start our story bored . It made it very easy for us because the proposal and Presentation were describe very while as we told people of our video .

We had three weeks for filmmaking. The first day we decide to stay in class and get everything organize good so until the next day we decide to film. As part of our video the teacher asked us to have an expert on our video and since ours wasn't able to talk in person who had to speak through phone. My final video will be linked at the bottom.

Personal Piece :
For my personal piece we were given the option to do a art piece , ted talk , spoken word or any other thing we would like to do. I decide it to do a video along with a classmate about Mexicans. We first try to see what we wanted our video to focus more on , we decide the video to be about family and to help us more with that we decide to put Trumps speech. We found that as a helped because as you all know trump is trying to send Mexicans back to Mexico and all his doing is braking people apart. As you read our story bored and video you can tell we change some stuff and add stuff. As a Mexican women knowing family being apart really helped us decide the feeling we wanted to get from others.

Self Reflection :
Break free didn't mean anything to me at first because I didn't really pay attention to it. Now that this project has end it I have notices how important it is. For example when we were giving a lesson about the word "NIgga" I notice how much it's been use in many type of ways.The hardest part about this project was getting our point of view in the best way to show it to others watching our group video. To solved that we used a game in it , as you saw my video we used a game in it. It turned out pretty good because it was a way to show how much media has turn people with job genders. I have learn to be who you want to be and not let any one let me tell you what you should be. I will take breakfree along with me , I have noticed that as people say something rude I say break free sometimes I might be playing around saying it at randoms times but it's a way to get it attached and make people learn about what Breakfree is. I hope that the message we are trying to tell others help out.
