SEO Scholars at Vassar

As high school students in the SEO Scholars Program spend a week at Vassar College intensely engaging the American civil rights movement, they post short critical reading and writing exercises to this site—it is a repository for their ideas, a chance for them to comment on each other’s work, and a way to share and continue that work with teachers and peers at home. Enjoy.

FINAL ASSIGNMENT!

Here is your final assignment for the week.

Using your collages from today's writing lab/study period as a visual aid, write a reflection post that answers the following questions. Note: The sub-questions are there to give you a more complete understanding of what to think about, but don't feel pressured to answer each and every single one of them.

1. How has your understanding of the modern Civil Rights Movement evolved?
  • What has changed about your perspective?
  • What moments from class discussions, reading materials, film/TV screenings and your blog posts have influenced your views?
2. How has your writing about the movement evolved over the course of the week?
  • What conclusions have you come to?
  • What issues, quotes, themes or events remain unresolved for you?
  • What connections have you made?
Remember that you will be presenting your collages and final thoughts during tomorrow's writing lab, so don't wait until the morning to finish everything up!

This week has gone by faster than I could have ever imagined. You all have said and done amazing things over the past four days; let's make the most of the last post and the last day!
