What I want you to do is prepare a thoughtful “reflection” of the last sixteen weeks. Incorporate what you’ve learned about and from the different writing styles and persuasive techniques, subjects, authors, films, handouts, etc. that we’ve studied as well as how your writing has improved and any of the other “lessons” (i.e. political strategy, freedom, equality, tolerance, civil involvement, civil protest, religious and secular faith, hope and healing, etc.) you’ve learned through our class. You can also include in your piece any extra credit events you may have attended if they are germane to your overall learning experience this semester. You can also include what you learned from the Fall Reading Series and any other extra credit events you attended (The Old Globe, plays at the Stage House Theatre, Balboa Park museums, Museum of Tolerance, etc.). Your final piece must reflect thoughtful critical thinking – do not provide a quick “cookie-cutter” piece of work Be thorough.

A successful piece will…

♦ Effectively introduce the focus of your piece while providing a sense of the appropriate context of the piece.

♦ Demonstrate stylistically mature writing that is free from repetitively simplistic sentences, inappropriate word choice/language use, ineffective repetition of words, and abrupt transitions.

♦ Follow the conventions of grammar, spelling, and punctuation and be reasonably free of mechanical errors.

♦ Use MLA documentation properly, including formatting, sourcing and citation.
