2. In addition to the project itself, write a 3 page (minimum) REFLECTION about your project and process. The reflective essay is worth 90 points.
—Explain your project and how you went about creating it – What research or preparation did you have to do? What materials did you need? Who did you consult? How long did it take? What kinds of obstacles did you have to overcome to do this project? If you worked in groups, how was the work divided up? Did everyone contribute equally?
—Explain why you made the choices you did regarding your project – Why focus on that reading or that author or that theme? Why did you choose that format or medium? Why did you organize it in that way? Why choose those pictures or that music? Be specific.
—Explain the theoretical or philosophical implications of your project and its significance as it relates to this class – What did you learn about the readings/authors as you did your project? How does this project give you (and your classmates) a new perspective into the readings? How does approaching a reading through this creative angle reveal something different than if you had simply written a paper? Does the project suggest any larger ideas about literature or art or humanity in general? Or what about more narrowly – does it reveal anything about you personally?
You should also include a Works Cited page listing all the sources you used for the project.
