Final Personal Reflection (Essay & Presentation)
This year we have focused on numerous questions: “What does it mean to go on a hero's journey?” and “Are people by nature good or evil?" and “How can one find hope in a hopeless situation?” For this assignment, you will consider all of these questions as well as those that we never specifically dealt with, but you thought about, this year.
Your task is to create a Final Reflection that explores the most notable and significant things you have learned over the past year about yourself, others, and the world in which you live. Because you have spent a substantial amount of your time over the past year in English and in Wonder Core, your experiences in class have in some way become a part of who you are.
In your Final Reflection, you may choose to reflect on:
Your Final Reflection will have two components:
(1) one is a paper, and
(2) the second is a presentation of that essay.
The first component is a reflective essay (typed; MLA format; 2-3 pages) that examines the questions and ideas listed above. Your essay may deal with any number of issues in your education and your life (not just English) but your focus should be this school year.
The second component of your Final Reflection is a presentation (5 minutes or less). During your presentation, you will present your essay. Because of time constraints, you may not be able to read your entire essay, so you should make sure to edit your speech.
Your completed Final Reflection (paper + presentation) will be presented during the FINAL EXAM block on
(7B) : Wednesday, May 31 @ 8:00-10:00am
(5B) : Friday, June 2 @ 8:00-10:00am
(6B) : Friday, June 2 @ 10:20-12:20am
You will have a maximum of 5 (five) minutes to present your work--please practice your presentation!
