Final Assignment – World Lit II

Educational scholars have long noted that a crucial part of learning involves self-reflection.  So . . . let’s be mirrors. For a final assignment, you'll come to class and, in two paragraphs, reflect upon what you've learned from the class.  Use this as an opportunity to really think about the readings and the knowledge you’ve gained (or haven’t – be honest) from the course.

Avoid merely repeating what you’ve written in your essays and paragraphs.  You should begin planning by reviewing the syllabus and textbooks to refresh yourself with the readings, and then consider the in-class discussions, group work, course site, body paragraphs, etc. for specific examples of your intellectual growth.  

Requirements
Specifically, you'll write two paragraphs which explore the two major "things" you've learned from this course.  These could range from writing to reading, from a point about a specific writer, to a generalization about the literature itself: let your conscious be your guide.

No specific word count is necessary, just remember to explain yourself – quotes from the work always help.

You can (and should) bring in a short outline and list of quotes/specific examples that will prove your point.  Arguing that a specific work we’ve read connects with current life? You’ll need specific examples.

Grading Criteria
To receive a passing grade, you must successfully complete the following:
