Using the film series, 8th Fire, students will write two reflection papers summarizing the main themes covered in the assigned films and how you relate/what you learned after viewing each film. Students are encouraged to bring in properly cited course readings, films, and lectures into these papers. Each reflection should be 3 to 4 pages long (I will not mark beyond 4 pages) and contain formal citations to referenced articles, websites, and films.
