relection paper
I. Reflection Paper Assignment
Use the following questions to write a reflection paper detailing how “agents of political
socialization” (Hints: parents, school, peers, workplace, party, education, race/ethnicity,
income) operated to shape your political thoughts and experiences.
A. Questions to help you describe your experience (what you learned and how
you learned it).
What were you taught?
Who taught you?
Where and when did this occur?
What did you do? What was your response? Did the experience prompt you to
take action?
Did the experience influence action you took later in time?
Were you with anyone else at the time? Did that person respond? If so, what did
they do?
Did anything else happen that could have influenced or shaped your political
thoughts and experiences?
B. Questions to help you “look through the lens” of your textbook in order to
examine your experience.
Did you recognize any academic (text book) concepts during this experience?
Did the experience help shape your political thoughts and experiences? Explain.
Did new or different information or experiences drive you to re-shape or change
your opinion?
Were there differences between what your textbooks says and your real-life
experiences? Explain.
C. Use your insights and responses to the questions in the previous sections to
structure a reflection paper about what your political socialization experience(s)
taught you. Be sure to include what you learned, how you learned it, and why it
matters.
