FINAL REFLECTION Choose an object from your actual real life that could serve as an “artifact” of your 2020 COVID-19 experience. Imagine this: 100 years from now, a historian finds all the objects left by our class and puts together an exhibit of these objects in order to represent the COVID-19 quarantine, so that people in the year 2120 can understand it. Each object in the exhibit represents a different individual’s COVID-19 experience, and each object reveals or embodies something about this moment, its rhythms, its tone, what it was like, how it felt. We are those individuals! Your assignment is to choose an object to represent your experience, and use that object to explore/explain/analyze/reflect on your experience. You can choose any object, BUT NOTHING MEDICAL — no masks, no ventilators, no thermometers or pulse oximeters, nothing related to the medical field — and NOT YOUR PHONE, because that’s just too obvious. You must write at least 350 words. You must create more than one paragraph. Consider the following questions to get your writing ideas flowing enough to write 350 words. Make written notes before you start your reflection! You do not have to answer all of the questions in your reflection — only the ones whose answers feel relevant. Answer in enough detail to make your description unique. Don’t write answers that could apply to just anyone or any object. You don’t choose your blue hoodie because “I use it every day,” anyone can say that! You choose your blue hoodie because… “After a while I could not stand being around my family anymore and my inability to get privacy was making me feel crazy. But my sanity was saved by a blue hoodie. My blue hoodie was never my favorite. It isn’t as soft as my red one. But the blue one has the biggest hood, so I could pull it over my head and it would come out so far past my face that no one could see in to my face unless they were right in front of me, and I didn’t have to see anyone else unless I turned to face them straight on. That, plus a pair of headphones, and I could just stare out the window with Bob Marley playing in my ears and tell myself I was at the beach, with the blue waves rolling over me.” ^^^ THIS is an example of detailed description! But note that it is only ONE paragraph, not enough to fulfill the assignment. Remember, 350 words. Remember, MORE THAN ONE paragraph! Use your paragraphs to group your ideas, aspects of the object, facets of your experience, etc. — you can decide how to organize this paper, but it should be deliberately organized. HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS TO GET YOU STARTED: Describe the object in detail. What does it look like? What is it used for? Is your relationship to the object visual, tactile, auditory, etc.? Is your relationship to the object passive, active, interactive, etc.? Get into the nature of YOUR EXPERIENCE with the object. How did you come to have this object? Where/when/who is it from? Is there a story to why it pleases you, entertains you, or comforts you? Why is it important to you? How does the object make you feel? What SUBTLE CUES or SMALL CHANGES do you feel in your body, speech, attitude, mind, etc., when you have/use/grasp/handle/look at/wear/etc. the object? What’s the difference between you with the object and you without the object? How does this object fit into the rhythm of your days? When do you use it, and how often? Do you use it on a schedule, at set times or regular intervals — or do you reach for it whenever you feel like it? To your mind, how does the object represent this moment in history? How is this object instructive of the 2020 COVID-19 experience? What does it have to teach future historians (or the people of 2021) about life during COVID-19?

This are the instructions my teacher left me for the final essay, the story/personal anecdote has to answer all of these: -balance between showing and telling Does the text begin with showing? does the text include metaphorical language? does the text provide rich and satisfying reflection that links the personal experience of the writer with the larger needs of the audience? -voice can the reader perceive the writer’s voice and personality in the text? does the language in the text feel realistic and authentic? does the writer come close to his/her topic so that the reader senses a strong connection and commitment? -pacing  does the text slow down and speed up when it needs to? does the writer avoid the pitfall of trying to cover too much ground, treating everything with the same level of importance? does the writer avoid the pitfall of missing too many details and hurriedly glossing over important details? is there an attempt to use narrative time and not merely follow chronological time? -reader’s need does the text translate beyond the writer’s personal experience and offers the reader something of value? does the text aim to make a strong connection to the reader by offering insightful reflection? -presentation is the text edited to avoid basic grammar, punctuation and spelling issues?

I. Introduction and Statement of Purpose  • Briefly describe what the study was about in about one paragraph; however, avoid getting into too much detail. Subsequent sections will be used to address further details about the study.  • What was the author’s or authors’ general purpose for carrying out this study? Keep in mind there may be more than one purpose.    II. Theoretical Assumptions and Thesis/Hypothesis  • Briefly describe the theoretical assumption(s) associated with the proposed thesis/hypothesis (or hypotheses). Be very clear if there are multiple hypotheses, and utilize appropriate subheadings if needed.  • What is the thesis provided (hint: look for the proposed hypothesis)? Please note, there may be more than one hypothesis (i.e., multiple hypotheses).    III. Methods  • Relatively briefly, but thoroughly, describe the main aspects of the study methodology.  • Be sure to include information regarding: the study design, participants (e.g., who were they, how were they recruited, how many were there?), variables of interest (i.e., independent, dependent, and other showcased variables), data collection process (i.e., what was the timeframe of the data collection, what data collection instruments were used, were the instruments reliable and valid, what was done with the data?), and operational definitions of key terms if necessary.    IV. Results  • What were the major findings of the study, especially in relation to the thesis/hypothesis?  • Was the hypothesis supported or not supported? (If there were multiple hypotheses, be sure to address each one).  • What other important statistical relationships were found?    V. Assessment of the Study and Limitations  • What was your impression of how the author(s) conducted the study?  • Did the methodology seem appropriate? Whether your answer is “yes” or “no”; be sure to justify your answer (a simple yes or no answer will not suffice). Could the study design have been improved? Is there anything you would have done differently?  • What were the stated limitations of the study?

In a talk given at TEDGlobal in 2011, Richard Wilkinson, an epidemiologist who studies the well-being of societies, pointed out that “[t]he average well-being of our societies is not dependent any longer on national income and economic growth. That’s very important in poorer countries, but not in the rich developed world. But the differences between us and where we are in relation to each other now matter very much.”–Richard Wilkinson, TEDGlobal 2011, “How Economic Inequality Harms Societies” In a talk given at TED in 2012, Bryan Stevenson, a lawyer who has argued numerous cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, argued this: “Ultimately, you judge the character of a society, not by how they treat the rich and the powerful and the privileged, but by how they treat the poor, the condemned, the incarcerated. Because it’s in that nexus that we actually begin to understand truly profound things about who we are.”–Bryan Stevenson, TED2012, “We Need to Talk about an Injustice” In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, societal inequalities have become increasingly evident. Given this, your research essay assignment invites you to examine how this pandemic has exposed social and economic inequalities in the U.S. Here is what you need to do: RESEARCH and EXPLAIN one aspect of social inequality. For example, you could examine inequalities in health care or education, work or other economic insecurity, or inequality caused by structural racism. CONNECT your findings to what we are witnessing (and many of us are experiencing) in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic shutdowns and stay-at-home orders. REFLECT on how your views have changed or developed in light of this research. What will you do now that you know what you know? Is there a solution that you can offer? Argue for that solution. Be sure you ADDRESS IMPORTANT OPPOSING ARGUMENTS in order to strengthen your argument. (NOTE: You are not required to do the items on the above bulleted list in this exact order.) Accuracy and completeness of understanding of the ideas contained in the sources and ideas you are responding to and analyzing Defensible and interesting thesis statement Development of ideas, use of pertinent examples, convincing explanations Ability to reason with and explain the ideas being dealt with Logical essay structure, leading reader from one idea to the next Readability and correctness of prose Documentation of sources and correct citation format for those sources
