Symposium Reflection #2

Since my last reflection we have changed our topic from the flaws of the education system around the world to our first option we began with  which is the Hollywood  religious Pedagogy. By changing our topic to Hollywood  religious Pedagogy we have learned that Disney movies(with the death scenes of course) could help children to understand death and be a starting factor for adults to talk to children about what death really is. Our groups driving question did not change because when we had the topic the flaws of education system around the world we did not have the driving question ready to get it approved. The one thing we changed since my last reflection was our topic from the flaws of education system around the world to Hollywood  religious Pedagogy because my group was not passionate about learning how the education system around the world works.  After we had gotten our symposium driving question approved we decided to do our student-lead research by interviewing  two experts. One of the experts that we are going to interview is Erin Runions who is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Pomona College. And the other expert to help us through our student lead research is  Robert K. Johnston who is a Professor of Theology and Culture school of Theology. By Interviewing these two experts we could have on overview on Hollywood religious pedagogy. Throughout this process it has been easy because we have gotten our  five questions approved by our teacher and we are ready to email them to our experts. In my groups next step to complete this component is writing down what the experts to have have is ready to display on our trifold board. So far in my perspective my groups collaboration has been going on really good. We are all communicating to each other and letting everyone speak what they think should be best or what we could do differently.
