Direc�ons
In this ac�vity, you will work on the second part of the reflec�on sec�on of your project. You should consider the feedback from your instructor on the previous ac�vity and use your responses to inform this assignment. Include diverse
perspec�ves from varied sources to support your points. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance and consider the sources you have used thus far to support the cri�cal analysis of your topic. First, you will explain how the analysis of
your topic in diversity may have been different if you had used one of the other general educa�on lenses. Next, you will explain how cri�cally analyzing diversity posi�vely affects your interac�ons with people. Finally, you will describe how
this course has impacted your understanding of the role of diversity in society.
You are not required to answer each ques�on below the rubric criteria but may use them to be�er understand the criteria and guide your thinking.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis.
a. It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspec�ves from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Cita�ons and A�ribu�ons rubric criterion.
b. Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while ci�ng and a�ribu�ng sources will be represented as APA in‐text cita�ons and a reference list at the end of your work.
c. You will be evaluated on both criteria.
2. Explain at least one way in which your analysis might have been different if you had used one of the other general educa�on lenses to analyze your topic.
a. This should be a brief (3–5 sentences) reflec�on about how using the language and perspec�ve from a different lens would shi� your view of your topic.
3. Explain how cri�cally analyzing diversity adds value to interac�ons with people in a variety of contexts.
a. Think about ways in which individual conversa�ons are strengthened by a greater awareness of diversity. Consider including an example from your life.
4. Describe how this course has helped you understand the role of diversity in society.
a. Consider how having a be�er understanding of concepts such as bias, intersec�onality, culture, and iden�ty contributes to your percep�ons of diversity in society. Also, how might your cri�cal analysis skills impact how you
approach topics of diversity?
