What I learned in Talking about Freedom

Today I'm going to talk about what I have learned in Talking about Freedom. This class wasn't just about facts and remembering dates. It was about the struggles people went through and how things changed overtime. The movies and documentaries made everything feel more real and more connected to my life than just something from the past. You can see the real events these people went through and their real emotion. They were way better than reading a textbook and taking notes. The mock trials were one of my most interesting parts of this class. It made me do research about previous events and instead of learning, I taught the class. It helped me understand the cases so much better. The role playing made it fun and less boring. We used AI in this class and it opened my eyes to the tool that AI can be. It helped me research faster and organize everything way more efficiently. It also made me think about ethics and when it is okay to use AI. Overall, I feel like I came out of this class with a better understanding of American history, stronger writing skills, more confidence, and better critical thinking. This class helped me grow as a student and as a person.
