Learning Reflection Journal – Week 5 Rationale: Many times, we try to hurry through the assignment, get the grade and move onto the
next thing on our agenda without grappling and thinking about it. I would like us to slow down, reflect on the material and make meaningful connections to ideas, other interests and ourselves. The title Learning Reflection Journal describes the purpose of this assignment. This journal is to help you to start to reflect on your learning process and the historical material throughout the semester. By keeping a Learning Reflection journal, I am hoping to instill the practice of slow and deep thinking in addition to helping cultivate your own voice, thoughts and ideas. Each week the questions will vary, but I am looking for you to demonstrate that you have engaged with the material and growing in your analysis and interpretation. Questions for Week 5:
1. What is the key historical argument from the Prof. Morgan’s lecture video? What evidence/sources did the scholar support use to support their arguments? What is your assessment of his historical argument? What question do you have from him? What is one thing
you will take away from listening to his lecture? Place your response here. 2. Prof. Snyder discusses death, suicide and slavery in early America. What is her argument about why we should study death and slavery? She complicates the narrative in her discussion of agency, resistance, and power regarding enslaved people and suicide. What do you think of her arguments? Prof. Snyder discusses the Middle Passage and the role of suicide – what is her main argument?
