1. What did you see as the most important insight or idea from the assigned readings?
2. What are your critical reactions to the readings?
3. How much did you know about this subject before you completed these readings?
4. What do you know now that you didn’t know before completing these readings? Clearly distinguish and briefly describe each point.
5. How has your thinking changed after completing these readings?
6. Copy a short passage from four of the assigned readings that you found to be particularly memorable. Explain what made the passage stand out to you.
