Reflective Paper Assignment
Reflective Paper Assignment
What: Write your own biography of origins and descent (around 2-3 pages).
Why: To give you reflexive experience with narrative rendering of personal history and its power.
How: Follow Anthony Smith’s 6-staged model of “Mythology of Origins and Descent” (as
illustrated in second half of this essay linked above): 1) origins in time and space, 2) ancestry
and descent, 3) migrations and liberations, 4) golden ages, 5) current sad decline and 6) future
rebirth.
