Place-based Literacy Reflection (written in comparison-and-contrast mode)
Directions: Consider two distinct places that have impacted your identity development. Create a narrative reflection  (300 words or more)  comparing and contrasting the culture, customs, rituals, expectations, or the language or dialect of these places, and how they influenced your literacy journey. Feel free to use other theoretical sources that support your narrative restorying of the places that impact your identity growth and development.  Draw on stories, memories, reflections, notes, images, conversations, and diaries as artifacts to construct your writing, seeking to expand on the process of your own identity formation and its spatial relationship to the places you’ve chosen to analyze.  Other Major Requirements:  
Word count: 300 or more

Rubric: derived from: CommonFeedbackChart.docxLinks to an external site. 
You’ll be evaluated on:
Your creation of this discourse surrounding the places and personal reality through attention to history, personal and communal rituals, customs, traditions, languages, rhetorical arguments, and/or respective realities. 
The depth of your critical comparison and contrast in describing the places AND in describing how this place has shaped you, incorporating key class themes, terms, and perspectives that relate to your own experience, or relate to how you have re-experienced this discourse community. 
Your willingness to be honest and vulnerable with the reader, however you define those terms. In other words, your attempt to be personal, divulging, and expressive with your inner thoughts, feelings, and realizations. And trustworthy for your reader to believe.  
Your formal and academic writing style. Connect with your voice, but with professionalism, taking class readings as samples of such intellectual styles. 
Your careful organization of writing and media (with captions for accessibility) through development of points, ideas, emotions, experiences, and the like, so that your paper is a thoughtful and well-structured account of this discourse community and its effect on you, thus flowing from one idea to the next in a sequence which effectively guides the reader through your thought processes and evolution. 
Suggested (not required) content for your comparison and contrast: 
Places around your chosen place/space– how is an ecology of place formed? 
Multiple places and their connections/perspectives/themes 
A change of purpose for the space/reinterpretation of design 
Connecting buildings; abstract art- artifacts suggest certain activities 
One place everyone goes to—social place (locale); elements of time and culture 
Multiple activities; community-building  
Othered or outside spaces of socialization; using spaces for other purposes 
Historical changes; clashing cultural ideas about a place with (often unwanted) contemporary changes to the place. 
How the place could be better accessible through designs solved by technology

Reading and Discussion Questions on Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour”
What is the significance of the title?
What is the nature of Mrs. Mallard’s “heart trouble,” and why would the author mention it in the first paragraph? Is there any way in which this might be considered symbolic or ironic?
The setting of the story is very limited; it is confined largely to a room, a staircase, and a front door. How does this limitation help to express the themes of the story?
In what ways is this passage significant? “She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.” What kinds of sensory images does this passage contain, and what senses does it address? What does the vision through the open window mean to her? Where else does she taste, smell, or touch something intangible in the story?
What kind of relationships do the Mallards have? Is Brently Mallard unkind to Louise Mallard, or is there some other reason for her saying “free, free, free!” when she hears of his death? How does she feel about him?
Mallard closes the door to her room so that her sister Josephine cannot get in, yet she leaves the window open. Why does Chopin make a point of telling the reader this? How might this relate to the idea of being “free” and to the implicit idea that she is somehow imprisoned? Do other words in the story relate to this idea
What does Josephine represent in the story? What does Richards represent?
Mallard is described as descending the stairs “like a goddess of Victory.” In what ways does she feel herself victorious?
The last line of the story is this: “When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease-of joy that kills.” In what ways is this an ironic statement? What is gained by having the doctors make such a statement rather than putting it in the mouths of Josephine or Richards?
What view of marriage does the story present? The story was published in 1894; does it only represent attitudes toward marriage in the nineteenth century, or could it equally apply to attitudes about marriage today?

 Why did the author of this week’s reading find it necessary to compare the European and North American systems; are they really that different? How do costs of transportation impact global trade?
