RequirementS OF PART 2:

• Reflections should do three things:
1) briefly summarize the main ideas/arguments of the readings (2-3 sentences);
2) Offer an analysis of one point raised by the readings (a critique, or highlight a certain theme to consider); and
3) end with a question that the readings raise that you would like to discuss further with the class.

• Quality reflections and responses will draw in specific quotes and passages from the text (long passages/quotes do not count for your word count total).
