I have posted the instructions below. Reading Reflections (4 Total, 60%)15 points each (60% of final grade). Approximately every other week you will be expected to complete a reflection-based essay on one of your assigned readings (you may be asked to do a reflection on a film). Each essay should be a minimum of two double-spaced, typed pages, with 12 pt. Times Roman font (roughly between 550-650 words). For the readings you are required to do a short reflection on, please consult the weekly schedule. You are expected to weave your readings, viewings, class lectures and discussions in your reflection. This is your chance to engage critically with your assigned readings and viewings before coming to class. These reflection essays should cover the following: 1. What are the key points the author(s) is trying to make? 2. Is the author making any assumptions in presenting his/her thesis? 3. What are some useful concepts the author is presenting? 4. What are the strengths or weaknesses of the reading and/or viewing? 5. How does the reading/viewing relate to previous readings and viewing? 6.What questions come to mind and how will you answer them?
