Swiper, no swiping. Dora's back!

The show Dora can teach kids more than you thought. But first, Trump announced a new law that would change or limit who can immigrate to the United States, and who can leave the United States. If immigrants are legally here but need the government's help for everyday living, then they are not permitted to stay. He also thinks that we are being invaded but it’s really just the immigrants coming from the southern border. A lot of thought always comes into creating a tv show, but there was so much thinking that came into Dora. Dora was just a normal tv show to kids but really there’s more in the foundation of the show and teaching kids on American tv a little more about Latino culture. They had to plan/figure out all about Dora and the show like her ethnicity, setting, and the characters. They also had to think about what would engage kids in watching and liking Dora. Within less than a year, the show became really popular for preschoolers aged 2 to 5. It was translated into 25 different languages. Dora was a great way to show the Pan-Latino culture and her differences between her and the kids watching the show. What are ways you learned about other cultures? What are some other ways of learning about cultures?

  1. I really like the font, but it's hard to read. Also, the text could be a little better. Otherwise, it is very well done. Your post is well thought out and to the point (which is good). But I don't understand why some of it is highlighted. I like that you put 2 questions instead of one.

  2. I love how easily understandable and interesting your blog post was! The title was super eye-catching and made me want to read it! Maybe you could add some details, like how Dora has shown difference. Meaning, you could say that the kids who watched Dora now help Latino's when they seek for help, or say how Dora, if she were real, would possibly change the views of other Americans. Or even how Pan-Latino's have felt just a slightly bit stronger since Dora is like them and they want to take a stand against these discrimination. Otherwise, I really like your piece! :)
