reflection.This reflection will count as a HOW3 score, and will also help us to determine
your overall LT grade. The reflection should be 2 pages typed, double-spaced, 12 point font,
Times New Roman or Arial.

  • Was there anything about the process of the assignment
  • (preparation, execution, work time, etc.) that frustrated you? 
  • Explain the Learning Target in your own words
[I can analyze the experience of immigrants who moved to to America
and evaluate the success of their integration into American society]
  • Would you have done anything differently if you were the facilitator? 
  • How did you feel you did in terms of presenting your position and interacting with your classmates?
  •  How was your experience exploring a viewpoint you personally agreed with or disagreed with?
  • What is RIGHT with our immigration system?
  • What is WRONG with our immigration system?

IF YOU DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN YESTERDAY'S FISHBOWL, whether you were absent, unprepared, just didn't talk, etc. Please use the time to type up your preparation notes, describing the arguments you would have made in the discussion and submit that assignment instead of a reflection.
