Q Objective: The objective of this Critical Reflection/Response is to critically reflect on Module 6's Lesson, and to respond to the following prompt. Background: In Module 8, you watched several videos about how to talk - and listen - about race and privilege. In a couple of sentences, introduce the scholars main ideas and then reflect on two salient points that resonated with you. Use those ideas as a springboard in response to the following question: Will increasing racial literacy by communicating more openly about racialization (kind-of like the class is doing in this discussion) have positive effects, negative effects, or no result on racial equity in the U.S.? Why or why not? For full credit, make sure to incorporate relevant conceptual frameworks in your response. Goals: • demonstrate your understanding of the Module 8 theme "Racialization" - up to 5 points • incorporate an anthropological perspective and effectively utilize appropriate terms and concepts - up to 10pts • be informed by at least two (2) elements of Module 8 (for example, the Module readings, the linked articles, the PBS, YouTube films, TedTalks, the myriad websites and and related articles) which are clearly referenced in the content of your submission - up to 10pts • think critically about and mention specifically how those two (2) elements inspired your thinking about what it means to be American - in other words, talk about "Racialization" and tell us how what you read influenced that thinking - up to 10pts • be written in clear and concise language, free of grammatical issues, stay within the word limit - up to 10 pts • properly cite (that is, give credit) to the elements you mentioned above - up to 5pts The Instructional Assistants and I are looking for a good critical reflection, following the guidelines posted in Module 1. Instructions for submission: 1. Compose your reflection in a word document and save it so you don't lose your work. 2. Keep your reflection between 250 - 300 words (about the length of the instructions above). 3. Copy and paste your reflection here into Canvas, proofread it for spelling and grammar errors, then submit. Grading: From this week forward, we will be making use of a grading rubric for your Critical Reflection and Response assignments. Grades will still be issued on a percentage basis using a letter grade. • A: 90-100% (Outstanding, excellent work. The student performs well above the minimum criteria.) • B: 80-89% (Good, impressive work. The student performs above the minimum criteria.) • C: 70-79% (Solid, college-level work. The student meets the criteria of the assignment.) • D: 60-69% (Below average work. The student fails to meet the minimum criteria.) • F: 59 and below (Sub-par work. The student fails to complete the assignment.)
