Reflection #1

Every few days you will write a short reflection related to this course. You will submit the reflection as a comment on the class blog. The reflection should be 250-500 words and written with attention to grammar, spelling, and the fundamentals of good academic writing (which we will discuss in class). Each reflection is worth 10 points in the homework/quiz/participation category. WRITE YOUR COMPLETE NAME WHEN YOU SUBMIT THE COMMENT. Do not leave the name as "anonymous."

Choose one from the following three:

1) Current event -- provide a link to the article as well as a write-up summarizing the article and its relevance to topics covered recently in this course.

2) Asian Products -- choose an Asian brand or product and write about your perception of the product as "Asian." To what extent do you associate the product as "Asian" and how does that inform your attitude toward the product?

3) China -- what do you know about China? What do you hope to understand more about the country and its history?

THIS REFLECTION IS DUE 6/18 at 8:00AM
