SESSAY QUESTIONS:

Given the reading assignments and the lecture notes and my input tell me what you have learned or can draw from this American Indian Studies course.That is, your thoughts and perceptions of Native peoples, their culture, and Life-ways and the history. What have you learned that affects your thinking of these people, their culture, and life-ways that you did NOT know or understand prior to taking this course? What is important to you? In short, what are you taking away from this whole experience? Analyze what you discuss and explain in your essay. Use examples of our discussions and the material I provided you during the semester (cite Resources – that is, in text citations). Use your text, guide-notes and my Collaborate lectures. Organize your paper – edit it – post some citations and supporting references. I do not want just opinions. Please justify your thoughts. To an extent, you are designing your own final exam – understand?

SUGGESTION: open your mind use your various senses – you do not have to believe in Native American value systems but you should have an understanding and appreciation for differences in cultural values. You may approach this essay in many ways. What is important is for you to articulate and analyze not what is right or wrong but “difference and sameness” in understanding the world we all live in. Think about your theme and what you are trying to tell your reader. What have you learned about American Indian Culture that you could articulate to others?

NOTE >>Also, I would like you to write a paragraph (at the end of the essay) concerning online learning. What was a surprise to you? What did you like and/or did not like about this modality of learning compared to a traditional classroom? Do you think the synchronous Collaborate chat/virtual classroom added a new dimension to the online learning experience?
