NOT DOUBLE SPACED

Hello, I need help with my weekly reflection for my Upper Division Sociology class. I will provide you with (1) Powerpoint which, (2) the notes of which we studied in class, (3)Link for movie we must talk about, (4) and an Example reflection that is a 10/10 grade.The reflection is not an essay with an intro, body, and conclusion, but rather just shows the understanding of this weeks material and develop an analytical perspective on it. It is encouraged to use quotes from both the Powerpoint and documentary.

Down below I will attach the syllabus instructions for the weekly and the “Orientating Question” that was emailed to us after the lecture to help guide our reflection. THANK YOU.

MUST ANSWER THIS ORIENTING QUESTION IN REFLECTION

Dear students,

Here is your orienting question for this week’s assignment, if you feel that you need one.

We had a powerpoint and lecture on the Zapatistas in Mexico and a documentary. How do the readings to date and earlier lectures help us better understand and analyze the Zapatista struggle? What terms, concepts, and theories from the readings and earlier classes may help us analyze this movement? Can you apply these terms, concepts, and theories to your analysis of the Zapatistas? What is the relationship of this movement in Mexico to globalization and resistance?

Weekly Reflection Essays

Read these guidelines carefully. Each week, on 8 occasions, you will prepare a reflection essay of approximately 2-3 pages (single-spaced; 1000-1500 words in length). You are of course free to write more than the minimum required. These are not academic papers in which you need an introduction, hypothesis, conclusion, etc. They are reflections and you may use a more informal style, even stream of consciousness prose. Please note: there are two criteria we will use in grading these assignments:

1)Does your reflection demonstrate that you have participated in and paid attention to the lecture/powerpoint, done the readings, and engaged with the documentary?

2)Have you developed analytical discussion, including bringing in the terms, concepts, and theories that we discuss in the lecture and are in the readings? Have you shown how the three (lectures, readings, documentaries) are related to one another, and have you identified and discussed the underlying theme(s) that run through all three?

In addition, I will generally send out an email shortly after class with several orienting questions that you should respond to in the context of your reflection. We will be looking very carefully to see how you respond to these orienting questions, especially with regard to the readings.

Note that these reflections should not be a summary of the lecture, readings, and documentary, and nor should they be a question and answer format. Avoid mere description. The purpose is three-fold: 1) that you demonstrate you have attended the lectures done the readings, watched the documentaries, and given thought to them; 2) to identify what you did not understand and what you think is important to discuss in class, in relation to the course, and; 3) this is crucial, that you are able to synthesize the three (lecture, readings, documentary) to develop a meaningful analytical discussion on the topic of the week.

As you write these reflections, you should use the sociological concepts and terms you have acquired in the course and through the readings. We will be looking for this as we grade.

****NO READING THIS WEEK, JUST MOVIE AND POWERPOINT are needed to be discussed in Reflection.

THANK YOU!
