Reflective Writing Exercise

This assignment asks you to “reflect” on your overall experience in this course. For instance, if someone were to ask you to describe this course, what would you tell him other first, second…in other words, what elements of this course were most memorable? The second part of your exercise should be a reflection of Why these things came to mind first or second…I would like for you to combine an analysis of one or more of your favorite readings along with your reflection of those readings which I expect to be more personal…tell me what you have received from this class, why the topic and associated readings you selected may remain with you for longer than the week after final exams, and relate that reflection to the description you provided for the first part of this essay…or even more personal, by incorporating any memories that may have been triggered by anything we read or discussed. I would like for you to make this both a personal reflection as well as an essay where you research your topic and relate it to something we read or discussed this semester. You will be evaluated on how well you integrate the above with the discussion of the work(s) you select. This exercise should be between 3 and 5pagesin length, single or double spaced, should contain quotes from the text(s), from which you are reflecting, in-text citations, and have a works cited page (not included in your page count). The paper is due on or before11:59pm, November26, and must be uploaded the appropriate area on NoteBowl. Near the beginning of the semester we will begin one or more classes with time for you to ask questions or brainstorm with me and or your classmates about your chosen topic. If you submit your assignment by or beforeNovember5, you will have an opportunity to receive feedback and if necessary re-write your essay for early submission of November12 or the regular submission due date of November 26.
