Choose
one of the articles from the “Reading Options” list below to be the subject of
your reading reflection; all options are from course readings for Modules 1 and
2.
·
Alternatively,
you can choose to conduct your reflection on one of the episodes of first
contact you have watched. If you choose this option, the same directions apply;
as well, the same level and type of analysis is required.
·
You
must engage with the content in a substantive and explicit manner; superficial
analysis is not satisfactory. Do not summarize!
·
Do
not quote from the article. I have read each of these articles – I am
looking for you to share some meaning you made from what you read. I do not
want you to tell me what the author/researcher said. Meaning making is an
individual process, and each of you will likely get something different from
each of the articles/videos. If you are struggling with what to write about,
here are some prompts you can consider:
o
Take
one piece of the article/video that resonated with you and reflect deeply on
why it did. What did this piece mean to you? Does it connect to your life? Does
it reflect processes or structures you see in society?
o
Reflect
on something new you learned from the article/video. How does this new learning
change your worldview? How does it influence social justice (in Canada, or
Alberta, or Lethbridge, or your home community, etc.)?
o
Discuss
a question that arose for you after reading the article or watching the video.
Reflect on your question: why did this question come up? What possible answers
might there be to your question?
o
Remember,
these are only prompts to help you if you are struggling. If you want to go in
another direction with your reflection, you are welcome to do so.
·
Remember
the purpose of a reading reflection is to deeply reflect on the content; to
make personal meaning from the content; and to make connections between the
content and the world around you (i.e., society).
·
I
welcome personal experiences in reading reflections, if they are relevant and only
if you are comfortable including them. However, please make sure to make
meaningful connections between the content of the reading, your personal
experience, and the world around you.
·
To
meaningfully reflect on the reading, you must use critical thinking and
analytical skills.
