For each reflection, you will be given a set of framing questions to address. You may choose to address some or all of the questions, and you are also invited to add your own reflections beyond the scope of the questions. To prepare to write your reflection, I suggest that you sit with and think about the framing questions (or other questions of your choice) for a good while. Live with the questions, and let them live in you. Then sit and write your way into your response. If you are fully engaged with the questions, you may not know where your writing will take you, and that’s a good thing in a reflection. Each reflection should take you someplace you didn’t know you were headed, as you discover the meaning the class experience has for you as an individual. Write the reflection only you can write.
Reflections must be turned in during class. If you are unable to do this, you must make special arrangements with me personally, each time, in order to be able to turn the reflection in at all.
Reflections must be printed on ONE single sheet of paper. No stapled papers will be accepted. Reflections must be no longer that two pages--or two sides of one page. Reflections must be in a standard font, with standard margins. Reflections must be double spaced.
Reflections are worth 5 points each. If you turn in your reflection on time (during class!) and have clearly engaged with the questions, you will receive full points for it. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss any questions you may have about your reflections.
Do not summarize.
These are opinion pieces.
Words matter.
Pay attention.
Write to learn what you know.
