Pay close attention to the following while you watch the video:
- What does a “single story” mean to you?
- How does living in a “single story” world impact our perception of others?
- Describe using your own words the 4 techniques the text says will help us eliminate the mindset of a “single story” in our lives and improve our perception of others.
As you develop your responses remember to incorporate your personal perspective with what you have discovered in both the reading and the video.
Spend time on this. Remember, reflective writing gives you the opportunity to think deeply about your learning. You’ll want to refer back to portions of the text which have influenced you most, but remember you are not simply restating what the text or video has said. You want to dig deeper…. to wonder…. and to reflect on what you have realized…. what you have “figured out” so far.
This is your opportunity to connect and share your insights. Focus on providing substance and specifics through a minimum of 15 to 20 sentences for this assignment.
