ICC Trial Reflection

Term 1 Project Reflection
Due: Friday 11/4/11 by F block.

At the end of every major unit this year, we will ask you to think back upon the work you have done and take stock of what you learned from it. In this paper, try to think deeply into the questions and respond honestly. We hope that by writing this paper, you will be in a better position to learn and perform well the next term. We will evaluate this paper on how much detail you provide, (meaning that your write about specifics) and how much you take responsibility for what went well and not so well. Please respond appropriately to each of the following questions. Length minimum requirement: C2: 2 pages; C1: 3 pages; H: 4 pages

1. Once you are informed of a violation of basic human rights, how do you, as a global citizen, carry out your responsibility? Think about your trial in particular—can being an active, capable and compassionate global citizen have an impact? How?

2. Evaluate your experience working in your project group. Who was particularly helpful? What worked? What didn’t? What do you need to do to get better at this?

3. What are your thoughts on the course content in English and History class this term?

4. In what ways were you challenged by this project and/or by other aspects of global in term 1?

5. What could we do differently to make term 2 go more smoothly? What could we improve upon?

6. C2: Describe how Ender from Ender’s Game is an active global citizen?
C1: Explain how the concept universal human right plays into Ender’s Game
H: Discuss a theme or themes in Ender’s Game and explore how it relates specifically to Merchant of Venice and Antigone (for English Honors) and/or to Revolutions in History.

7. In sum, evaluate your experience in global thus far.

Group work groundrules
