I have The Intro and Thoreau part ready.

Prompt:

Your final piece will be your opportunity to illustrate your “creative juices” as well as the writing techniques you’ve learned this semester. What I want you to do is prepare a thoughtful “reflection” of the last sixteen weeks. Incorporate what you’ve learned about and from the different writing styles and persuasive techniques, subjects, authors, films, handouts, etc. that we’ve studied as well as how your writing has improved and any of the other “lessons” (i.e. political strategy, freedom, equality, tolerance, civil involvement, civil protest, religious and secular faith, hope and healing, etc.) you’ve learned through our class. You can also include in your piece any extra credit events you may have attended if they are germane to your overall learning experience this semester. You can also include what you learned from the Fall Reading Series and any other extra credit events you attended (The Old Globe, plays at the Stagehouse Theatre, Balboa Park museums, Museum of Tolerance, etc.). Your final piece must reflect thoughtful critical thinking – do not provide a quick “cookie-cutter” piece of work. Be thorough as this final may (for some of you) determine your overall grade for the course.
