For this project, you are being asked to reflect on how you came to embrace\/reject a particular aspect of<\/p>\n
your culture or identity. For example, if I\u2013your instructor\u2013were to do this assignment I might reflect a<\/p>\n
little bit about how in my childhood my family almost always gathered for dinner on Sundays. Through<\/p>\n
my reflections of those times and the experiences I had, I can easily make an argument\/thesis statement<\/p>\n
on why I believe family dinners are important communal practices in Southern African American<\/p>\n
families. I wouldn\u2019t use any sources outside of myself and my experiences on the topic (as reflective<\/p>\n
essays are usually pretty informal, personal pieces of writing), BUT if approached strategically I can<\/p>\n
show\/conclude through my memories and musings how the practice of gathering on Sundays relates to<\/p>\n
something much more culturally important. To do this assignment correctly, it may be necessary for you<\/p>\n
to have a deeper understanding of the words culture and identity. So, I encourage you to check out the<\/p>\n
hyperlinks provided.<\/p>\n
Purpose<\/p>\n
While purpose of this assignment is for you to get into the practice of writing, this reflective essay is also<\/p>\n
designed to give you practice in 1) critically examining and analyzing parts of your culture\/yourself in<\/p>\n
ways that you might not have previously, 2) developing a strong thesis statement around a realization or<\/p>\n
conclusion you\u2019ve made regarding yourself\/the topic, 3) developing an essay where your thesis statement<\/p>\n
is supported primarily through a compilation of personal claims and experiences, and 4) writing in a way<\/p>\n
that allows you to (possibly) come to new understanding about yourself.<\/p>\n
Source Requirements<\/p>\n
For this assignment, there are no outside sources required. Instead, I encourage you to pull from your own<\/p>\n
experiences and knowledge to develop your argument\/position. <\/p>\n
