The presentation can take the following forms:
An Infographic
A power point
A workshop
A brochure
*You will be required to include a 1 page reflection which outlines your rhetorical choices*
Rationale
Recognizing that not all students process information in the same time or fashion, the bi-weekly reflections provide a space for students to show mastery and understanding of content in a way that is more personal and unique to individual learning styles and interests. This assignment also encourages continued critical reflection as students create and reflect on their own philosophies of teaching and learning throughout the semester.
Assignment
Students will a short written, video or other creative response (examples below) to reflect further on 2-3 readings and class discussions in the previous week(s).
Keep in mind that creative responses may require a short, written component to help clarify the connections and reflections.
Reflection responses can be informal, but should clearly identify which reading(s) and arguments/points the student is reflecting on.
Three (3) reflections total for the course.
When approaching the reflections, think about the following questions, however do not feel compelled to respond to EVERY question:
What from the chosen reading made you pause? What memory, emotion or association from your past educational experiences was evoked? How do these readings connect with your own philosophy of teaching and learning?
What were your key takeaways (epiphanies) from the class discussions/activities related to these readings and topics? What memory, emotion or association from your past educational experiences was evoked? How do these readings connect with your own philosophy of teaching and learning?
