M1 Written Response/Reflection Assignment
ALL RESOURCES AND READING CONTENT IS IN ATTACHED FILE. USE THOSE FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT
The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to articulate your thoughts on the resources that have been provided to enable your learning in this module. As the foundation material for the rest of the course, it is important that you are able to articulate your own views on the issues covered in the resources. Therefore, after completing the M1 resources, prepare a comprehensive summary of the material, using the questions below to guide your reflection and response.
The assignment must be completed in two parts. Part I allows you to reflect on and respond to the M1 resources, in general. Part II is designed to assess your analysis of and response to specific topics and concepts presented in the resources. Your final submission must demonstrate your engagement with all questions in Parts I and II.
Part I
1. What did you see as the most important insight or idea from the M1 resources?
2. What are your critical reactions to the M1 resources?
3. How much did you know about this subject before you completed M1 resources?
4. What do you know now that you didn’t know before completing M1 resources? Clearly distinguish and briefly describe each point.
5. How has your thinking changed after completing M1 resources?
Part II
1. Where do your ideas about “race” come from? What are the sources of your information?
2. Historian and scholar David R. Roediger has written a book entitled “How race survived U.S. History”. If you had the opportunity to speak with Professor Roediger, what explanations would you give for the persistence of “race” in U.S. society for over 300 years?
Work should be complete, precise, organized, logical, and well-supported using a variety of references drawn from the M1 resources. You may include independent sources; however, you will not receive credit without demonstrating that you have read and understood the material assigned.
Your submission will be assessed for analysis, content support, organization, effective writing style, and writing (grammar and mechanics), all in accordance with the APA style of formatting.
