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.
