Reflection Paper
For your first reflection paper assignment. The length of the paper should be about 1,000 words, typed double-spaced, using 12 pt Times Roman font with 1" margins on every side. (Just keep your default margins.)
The four readings you will reflect on are as follows:
• Plato's "Allegory of the Cave"
• T. Eve's "The Cave"
• Prof. Roxie Ray's "Resident Alien"
• MLK's "Letter From Birmingham Jail"
Your paper will be a reflection on the readings you have done so far. but you are not simply going to provide a summary of each essay. Written from the "I" point of view, your reflection should discuss some of the following points:
• What your impression and reaction was to these essays
• What you learned (if anything) from the essays, and how you can relate them to your life.
• What we have said about the essays in class
• Whether the essays altered your existing viewpoint about an issue
• How the essays relate to the "Cave" metaphor that is the central theme of FYS.
Students must include quotes, facts and evidence from the readings to support their reflection points.
*** If you have a severe language issue, you MUST use the ARC to help you write this paper and you MUST have a tutor sign the draft and final paper before submitting it to me.
