Answer the following questions.

1. Read this…

THE PLAY: Near the turn of the century, the destitute of Europe sprang on the city with tenacious claws and an honest and solid dream. The city devoured them.

They swelled its belly until it burst into a thousand furnaces and sewing machines, a thousand butcher shops and bakers’ ovens, a thousand churches and hospitals and funeral parlors and money-lenders.

The city grew. It nourished itself and offered each man a partnership limited only by his talent, his guile, and his willingness and capacity for hard work. For the immigrants of Europe, a dream dared and won true.

The descendants of African slaves were offered no such welcome or participation. They came from places called the Carolinas and the Virginias, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

They came strong, eager, searching. The city rejected them and they fled and settled along the riverbanks and under bridges in shallow, ramshackle houses made of sticks and tarpaper.

They collected rags and wood. They sold the use of their muscles and their bodies.

They cleaned houses and washed clothes, they shined shoes, and in quiet desperation and vengeful pride, they stole, and lived in pursuit of their own dream. That they could breathe free, finally, and stand to meet life with the force of dignity and whatever eloquence the heart could call upon.

By 1957, the hard-won victories of the European immigrants had solidified the industrial might of America. War had been confronted and won with new energies that used loyalty and patriotism as its fuel. Life was rich, full, and flourishing.

The Milwaukee Braves won the World Series, and the hot winds of change that would make the sixties a turbulent, racing, dangerous, and provocative decade had not yet begun to blow full.

What is good about the approach? What other ways might you consider the issue? What authors have you read who would agree or disagree?

Reflective Journal

For the designated weeks, there is a scholarly journal (about 1000 words) due. You are expected to discuss two or three key ideas from the readings, critique them, and show how they apply (or don’t) to your practice.

You will be given a grade of 1-5 for each journal based on how well you fulfill those criteria.

You will submit the journal electronically (email) to me on the specified dates and will respond with comments and a grade within a day or two.

A scholarly reflective journal is a public record of the thoughts and reflections you engage in as you read. While the journal will be confidential (e.g. between the student and the instructor), it is not a private diary.

Thus, although an informal, stream of consciousness approach is acceptable, there should still be attention paid to spelling, grammar, coherence, etc.

A good journal contains the following components:

a. demonstrated understanding of the readings

b. clear application to an educational situation

c. critical reflection

You may choose to comment on how a key idea or concept from the reading helped you to understand a personal problem or situation differently; you may write about the ideas prompted by a class activity or a point made during a Canvas discussion, or you may wish to discuss something that came out of the course readings,

It is important that you engage in critique, e.g. dialogue and debate with yourself and the authors.

What is good about the approach? What other ways might you consider the issue? What authors have you read who would agree or disagree?

The reflection and critique section may take many forms:

what is important is that you show you have done some thinking about the readings and class activities (why they did or did not turn on a light for you, their relation to something else you have read, or experienced, or learned in another class, or…) and that the thoughts provoked are not entirely banal! The purpose of the journal is to extend your thinking.

It is not enough to say that an idea or reading was interesting or useful: rather it is important to reflect on “why?”
