As an extra credit assignment for my History class, I was instructed to sit and listen to the talk about the celebration of the 20 year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. At first glance I thought it would be unattractive to me and somewhat of a bore. I was completely wrong. From the moment I sat down I was extremely engaged by the dicussion. It opened my eyes to things I’ve never been exposed to. The speakers were entertaining as well as very knowledgeful. It felt more as if they were talking directly to me and taking me on a journey through Germany by setting the scene. This was completely more enjoyable then I at first glance imagined.
Overll, I learned about the effect of the Berlin Wall and the significant it had and with it’s falling. It was a great learning experienced and opened my eyes. I was able to connect it to my current lessons in History which helped me to better understand the material and lesson.
