Humanities 8 – Reflection Presentation
You will hand in the following:
· TWO reflections – typed - one page long each.
· Your reflection is expected to contain an opinion backed up with an explanation and examples.
· Submitted reflections will also marked for neatness and artistic creativity. The reflection / journal is an expression of yourself – make it personal.
· One of the two reflections you chose to submit will be presented to the class – so be sure to pick one you are comfortable speaking about.
Possible Topics
In case you missed (or misplaced) a reflection / journal entry these are the topics we wrote on:
· Bullying
· Community
· Tradition
· Person vs Society - Personal experience with witnessing or feeling “in conflict” with your society.
· “Moral” – What is a lesson you wish you knew when you were younger / would pass on to a younger family member.
· Effort – “In Great attempts it is glorious even to fail” – Vince Lombardi “Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory” – Mahatma Gandhi “Leaders are made, not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.” – Vince Lombardi
· Teamwork – How did it feel to be responsible to teach others in your group? How did it feel to rely on others for information?
· Extinction
· Friendship
· Loss
· First Impressions
· Experience - “Experience is not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens to you.”
·
If you would like to submit / present on a different topic, you may discuss it with the teacher!
