This assignment is part of the "Pictures of the Middle East" assessments. Please write a 500+ word writeup on your two experiences. In this writeup, please:
- Document the activity you completed, describing what you did and how long it took. This should be extremely brief, 1–3 sentences at most.
- Briefly summarize the content from the activities. For instance, if you read a book, summarize the main narrative. Do not spend more than a paragraph on this part of the writeup.
- Make an argument about what we should learn about your country and the themes your activities touched on. This should occupy another paragraph.
- Provide personal reflection on the activity. What did the activity mean to you personally? Did it change the way you view some of the things we have discussed more analytically in the class? Did it open your eyes to something you didn't know before? Did it cause you to change your perspective on something in your own life? This should also occupy another paragraph.
An "A" writeup will provide everything asked for above with good detail, great insights into the narratives you were exposed to, and thoughtful reflection. A "B" writeup is still good, but might not provide enough detail, might engage a bit more shallowly with the narratives, or might be a more generic reflection on the activity. A "C" writeup might have length issues, little detail, little engagement with the narratives, or little reflection. A "D" writeup exhibits little effort to engage at all in the assignment and/or less than half of the length required. Below a "D" is reserved for turning in something completely irrelevant or not turning in an assignment.
