Critical and creative reflection 1 | edp 4604 | University of Miami

This Critical Reflection is based on readings and videos in Module 1 & Module 2

Complete a 3-5 page (double-spaced) or 3-5 min video critically reflecting on and responding to the readings:

The idea of critical reflections/responses are to engage in thoughtful internal dialogue about the idea of global issues and education. You should attempt, in your understanding of the readings and videos to get “underneath” what you read/watched in order to understand the social, political, and cultural underpinnings of the issues. Reading/Watching critically involves more than understanding the words or liking or disliking the texts; critical reading requires reflection. Please do not simply summarize the readings or videos.
