Follow these comments:You have some good material for your paper but do not have information covering every required area. You should now work on putting it together and connecting the ideas with a clear flow and transitions so you can really make your case for the problem and the treatment of the problem. Refer to the outline you created to help with organization of your paper. You need to address theories of learning that connect to your topic. As would be expected in a draft, there are some changes that should be made to improve the quality of your paper, however you need to proofread well. The specific details of the problem areas and changes can be found in the paper itself. The learning theories can be constructivism, cognitive, behaviorism, humanism, or connectivism whatever theory connects to the topic of my paper.Then use all these files to correct the Course Final Draft Assignment.

Question, process, challenge, and think deeply about how this week’s readings relate back to you. This is a place to share your thoughts and feelings: let them be raw and vulnerable. In 500 words minimum (2-3 pages), write a personal reaction about how the core arguments or stories of the readings relate to your understanding of identities, privilege and systems of oppression. Choose and include 1 quote from each of the assigned readings/sources and write 2 dialogic questions. Be sure to talk about each of the assigned readings/podcasts in your contemplations. This assignment can also be submitted as a video, but we will be looking for the same amount of depth in what you say as we are in a written reflection.Use these questions as a guide:What feelings came up for you as you read the readings/sources? What stories and personal experiences may be connected to those feelings?How did the readings/sources raise your level of consciousness around your identities, privilege and larger systems of oppression and your role in them?What questions do you still have or want to continue thinking/talking about with others?

DescriptionIn Factfulness, Hans Rosling encourages us to feel humble, curious, and inspired when we discover our ownignorance or misconceptions about the world. Our three major assignments are aimed at practicing those threequalities while also addressing the three “big questions” stated in our course description in our class syllabus.Assignment #1: Personal Written Reflection (Humility)!”#! $ 0:00 / 6:30 1x%(MP1 Video Explanation)Big Question #1How does an inaccurate or incomplete view of the world shape how we move through the world? What voices orperspectives are we missing? What history have we forgotten, ignored, or silenced?Prompt: What have you learned about your own knowledge gaps from our coursework so far? (See details belowfor assistance with how to focus this prompt.)Requirements: In a Personal Written Reflection, address this question above. Include at least three specific references to the course texts. Make connections to your own lived experience. As a guide, remember the work you did in the Go Beyond Padlet. Aim for 1000-1200 words. (Remember you can only go 20 words beyond the limit without it negatively affecting your score.)FocusThe focus of this project is the practice of humility. Consider that humility is an action. Being humblemeans entering a situation or conversation with a willingness to be wrong, to learn, and seekunderstanding.Personal Reflection is a specific type of essay writing.1. A personal reflection is an opportunity to reflect with a fresh perspective on any event, collection ofknowledge, experience, thoughts, feelings, etc.2. A personal reflection asks you to slow down, pause, and reflect.3. By slowing down and reflecting, you are seeking to gain perspective, a new way to respond moreeffectively, seeking to promote your own learning and understanding, and using Rosling to helpreshape what a future perspective or action might be.A personal reflection essay includes:1. Citing, which includes using summary, paraphrase, direct quote, Rosling’s Factfulness.2. Direct and clear personal connection to the specific concepts from Rosling you are choosing tointeract with.3. Showing relevance and personal connection between personal experience and the core text(s).As a way to reflect and practice humility, consider the following as a guide, not an absolute, for draftingthis personal reflection.1. How does an inaccurate or incomplete view of the world shape how we move through the world?2. What voices or perspectives are we missing?3. What history have we forgotten, ignored, or silenced?4. What have you learned about your own knowledge gaps from our coursework so far?5. Ask yourself these questions: “What don’t I know? What are the reasons for why I don’t know it?6. How can practicing humility help me to learn more?”Previous Semester Samples, Template and Rubric

How does Josephus begin his work, and how does this preface position him vis-a-vis Rome? What aspects of his religion or culture does he emphasize in this text? How might these be a response to Roman prejudices or views? Most importantly, how does he justify himself – a prominent member of a priestly family – becoming attached to the very imperial family that destroys Jerusalem? How does he explain this apparent betrayal of his people? What do you think he is trying to say or show to a primarily Greco-Roman audience? Consider especially the implications of his recording of the siege and destruction of Jerusalem.
