Read the two course text books: A Short History of Progress by Ronald Wright, and The Truth About Stories by Thomas King.
For each book, write a response to these questions:
"People feel this book is important. Why do you think this is? What in this book is important to you?"
The word limit is "loose", but the hard limit is 3 doubled spaced pages for both reflections together.
ADDITIONALLY - Attach an extra page with a self-evaluation and brief explanation (a few sentences will be sufficient) of why you believe your self-given grade to be accurate based on the rubric below.
