follow below some instruction and write relfection.
In these reflections on readings and topics, we will emphasize the process of thinking and making
connections among ideas and concepts. Here are some examples of ways you can focus your reflections:
• What is the most important paragraph or idea from a particular reading and why?
• How does a concept in a reading relate to something I have read elsewhere, thought about in another
context, experienced at some time?
• How does a reading shed light on a topic explored in class, in media, in something else I have read?
• What moves me, disturbs me, or confuses me about a moment in class or in a reading, and why?
• In the case of Nieto’s book, consider her end-of-chapter questions, if relevant and compelling to you.
Evaluation: In each reflection, refer to at least two specific moments in course readings or class events.
Use the moments as jumping off points, occasions to go deeper in your thinking, to make connections.
While clarity and care are important for any writing, formal organization is not as important for these.
Note: We may read excerpts from some of these writings aloud in class without identifying writers’
names. If there is a part of a writing you do not want aired in class even without your name used,
indicate this by writing “Private: Do not read this section aloud.”
