- Summative Reflective Response
- Choose one of the following writing prompts and compose a 500 + word reflective response:
- Option 1: How does one or more selection relate to the concept of a personal journey? (ie. Choose a selection we've discussed, or one you've found in addition, and reflect on the correlating questions: What was his or her pilgrimage (describe his or her personal journey)? What prompted it? What was attained from it?). Additionally, reflect on how the concept of a personal journey is or isn't relative today? (ie. Is the pilgrimage still apparent today?
- Option 2: Describe a personal journey you've underwent. Remember, the true result of a pilgrimage is a change in perspective not location, so you don't have to take the prompt too literally (as in you walked thousands of miles). Describe what prompted the journey, the details of that journey and what you've gained from the experience.
