Reflection Paper Instructions

Book: The essential guide to customs & culture Mexico

Objective: The objective of these papers is not for you to make a point-by-point comparison between your country of origin and another, but rather to reflect on what life might be like in another predominantly Spanish-speaking country.  Furthermore, this paper is not about determining what is good or bad about another place and its people, but rather to expose you to other people's way of life. 

Overarching Question: Compare and contrast the topics from the assigned chapters with your own home country experiences, cultural behaviors, and ways of life. 

As you prepare to write your paper, some guiding questions to help you organize your thoughts are:

• What surprised you as you read these chapters and why?
• What was something memorable you read about in these chapters and why?
• What would you like to know more about if you could speak with someone from this country and why?
• What does this country and/or its people do differently that appeals to you and why?
• What is your biggest takeaway from these three chapters in general and why?

Reflection Paper Guidelines:

One piece of advice: Show me evidence in your paper that you have read and reflected on all three chapters.  I have a copy of each book and I will be able to refer to it when grading your papers.
