CHAPTER REFLECTION
November 16, 2019 Off All,

Description

You will now select a chapter from our textbook to read as your final chapter (either chapter 10, 11, 12, or 13). You will choose a topic identified from one of those chapters and write an 8 page reflection paper on that topic. For instance, you might want to further explore one of the court cases outlined in Chapter 10, or choose the Idle No More movement. Other topics can include, land claims, starlight tours or police brutality, Gladue, restorative justice, or decolonization—or any other topic brought up in one of these chapters. It can be a broad topic or a specific topic, this is your choice. In addition to your personal reflection and reaction to your chosen theme, in each journal, you will also include supporting materials that relates to that topic. These materials can be books, articles, book chapters, news stories, documentary films, or personal experiences. A minimum of two different supporting materials must be included. All supporting materials (except your personal experiences) must be cited using APA Style formatting, this includes in-text citations, and a bibliography. If you decide to include reference to personal experiences use the first person (such as “I” or “we”). Papers will be graded on critical reflection, insight, analytic skills, synthesis, inclusion and organization of relevant materials, proper APA citation, bibliographic references, and clarity of expression. You will submit this paper no later than November 25th before 11:59pm. Papers are to be 8 pages total, double spaced, using Calibri font size 11.
