Project Wrap

Project Reflection:  due to me electronically by midnight Sunday (3-11)

After studying your intervention in-depth and learning about others from your peers, what is your overall take-away from this project?  Write a reflection that explores how studying US military interventions has affected your own ideology and perception of America's position in the world.  This reflection is pretty open-ended.  You may relate it to the concepts we have studied in US History and/or current global politics.  Please feel free to get very rhetorical in this reflection!  Use the appropriate appeals to describe your ideological opinions.  

Sign out a copy of Cat's Cradle.  Your assignment over the period of your internships is to read the novel and prepare for a seminar when you return.  When you finish the book, please get on Edmodo and post your ideas and interpretations of the novel's many ideological layers.  Engage with the ideas and interpretations of your peers.  Be prepared to be assessed on the novel on Monday, April 2 when you return from internships.  The seminar will be Wednesday, April 4.

Me van a hacer demasiado falta!  Que les vaya super bien en las practicas!  Pura vida!
