Final Personal Reflection (Essay & Presentation)
This year we have focused on numerous questions: “What does it mean to be an American?” and “What are my values?”. “What is my philosophy?” and “Where are we headed as a country?" For this assignment, you will consider all of these questions as well as those that we never specifically dealt with, but you struggled with, 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 this course—three blocks, every other day—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 interpersonal relationships, aspects of human nature, social dynamics, course content and/or personal growth.
Your Final Reflection will have two components – one is a paper, and the second a presentation entirely of your own design. The first component is a reflective essay (typed; 3-5 pages) that examines the questions and ideas listed above. Your essay may deal with any number of issues in your education and your life but (unlike your Philosophy & Music paper) your focus should be this school year.
The second component of your Final Reflection is a presentation. Your presentation may take any form that most effectively encourages the act of self-reflection. In other words, you may exhibit an original piece of art, lead a class activity, recite a series of original poems, read your reflective essay, or engage in any other creative act which enables you to reflect on your year. Exercise care in selecting a creative format that allows you to best communicate your ideas.
Your completed Final Reflection (paper + presentation) will be delivered to the Humanities Core beginning on (A) Tuesday, May 29. You will have a maximum of six (6) minutes in which to present your work.
