annotated_reflection_paper_1.docxEnglish 119: Survey of Women’s Literature Summer 2017 Annotated Reflection Paper
Amended/annotated version: This is due by 6pm on Canvas on the last day of class, August 21.
You will use your original reflection paper #1 (Self-Assessment and Textual Artifact) and add personal notes and textual support to highlight any new perspectives, understanding or insight gained after completing the readings, assignments and discussions in this course.
Instructions
1. Use the exact original reflection paper #1 you submitted and just “Save As” for the document you will use for this annotated version.
2. Before doing anything, please make sure to attend to any grammar/style errors in your original version. I’d also encourage you to address any other comments I made about missing information or areas that need to be clarified in the original version.
3. Start on your Part I: Self-Reflection & Assessment. Take particular note of the response you provided for the following:
a. Personal assessment of American women’s lives today
b. What do you think the role of literature (past and present) plays in articulating or advancing issues that relate to women
4. Next, move on to what you wrote for Part II: Textual Artifact, paying particular attention to your commentary and analysis (not the summary of the artifact). Tell me whether you have gained new insight or understanding in the section where you addressed these questions:
a. What drew you to this particular artifact?
b. What are your immediate, unfiltered impressions of it?
c. What do you find particularly powerful, intriguing or questionable about it?
5. For either section, it is imperative that you incorporate specific textual examples from the assigned readings.
a. For instance, one of your textual annotations could be, “After reading about perceptions of women and mental health in Charlotte Gilman Perkins’ The Yellow Wallpaper, I now think that my stance on women’s frailty was overstated. Gilman made me think/reconsider/question _____.”
b. An example of a personal annotation could be, “I think I was naïve in considering the advancement of women. Learning about the history behind some of these time periods has revealed how distressing and insurmountable some of the challenges were such as ____.”
6. Important note: I’m certainly not expecting to have everyone’s lives changed by this course, so please don’t make up flowery annotations that you think I want to read. I’m more interested in some honest thoughts after reading and discussing some significant works by women and better understanding the historical and cultural context. If you feel didn’t learn anything new, you can state that as well – but those also require textual support (that you would in that case negate or challenge).
7. Requirements for Annotations
a. You must have 4 TOTAL - at least two personal and two textual annotations. The textual annotations must be from any TWO readings from the course.
Annotation Formatting Instructions: Two Options
· Your annotations must be clearly noted. Please use red font to highlight in-text. Your annotation should follow immediately after the section you are referring to.
· If you’re using a Word doc, you can also just use the comment feature. Highlight the area that your annotation refers to and go under Review and add New Comment.
The readings:
1- “The Cult of True Womanhood”
3- “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All”
4- “Will Women Still Need Men?”
